B.
African culture is extremely diverse; there are over 3,000 different culture groups, and over 800 languages are spoken.
C.
African culture has been overrun completely by foreign influences, particularly those from Europe and the Middle East.
D.
Culturally, the African continent suffers from an identity crisis: there are too many external influences and no strong native cultures.

B

African culture is extremely diverse — the continent is home to thousands of ethnic/cultural groups and hundreds (in fact over a thousand or more, depending on counting) of distinct languages and traditions. The other choices overgeneralize or misrepresent that diversity.
