Answer 1

The following responses accurately describe the major religions practiced in Africa and their locations:

1. Indigenous beliefs are practiced in Central and Southern Africa.
2. The Christian minority in Egypt is known as the Copts.
3. Islam is the dominant religion in North Africa, East Africa, and parts of West Africa.
4. Christianity is practiced along the coastline of the Gulf of Guinea.

The response about "Islam is rarely practiced in coastal regions of Africa" is incorrect, as Islam is actually prevalent in several coastal regions of Africa, particularly in the east and north. Additionally, the assertion that "Coastal regions of Kenya and Tanzania are primarily Christian" is overly simplistic; while there are significant Christian populations, there are also considerable Muslim communities, especially in coastal areas.
