The accurate conclusion based on the map is:

C. The partitioning of Africa into colonies created uneven and artificial political boundaries.

This statement reflects the historical reality of the colonial division of Africa, where European powers drew borders often without regard for existing ethnic, cultural, or geographical divisions. The other options are either incorrect or misleading.
