Answer 1

In most African countries, no single ethnic group makes up the majority of the population.

Explanation: Africa is highly ethnically diverse; many countries have multiple sizable groups and no one group exceeds 50%. The other statements are incorrect — ethnic groups do not always share a single religion, they usually speak the same language within a group (not "rarely"), and ethnic minorities are typically longstanding indigenous groups rather than recent immigrants.
