Answer: c.
Explanation: After Nzinga a Nkuwu's conversion the Kongo strengthened trade (especially with the Portuguese), and production of textiles and regalia increased as European demand grew. However, royal and religious figures and regalia were typically made of wood, ivory, metal (and cloth), not mostly terracotta — terracotta works belong to earlier traditions.
