Based on the chart and what you know of the Columbian Exchange, which statement best explains why people in West Africa eat manioc?
A. Europeans introduced manioc to Africa after encountering it in America.
B. Early Native Americans established trade routes with West Africans.
C. Manioc is native to West Africa and a traditional part of local diets.

I'm in between C, and B. Europeans wouldn't introduce manioc to West Africa; but I'm a little bit iffy about D.
