B. government structures
Explanation: African heritage strongly shaped Latin American music and dance (salsa, samba, rumba), religious practices (Santería, Candomblé, Vodou syncretism), and aspects of language and literature (creole languages, African-derived vocabulary and themes). By contrast, formal government institutions in most Latin American countries trace primarily to Spanish/Portuguese colonial models and later Creole elites; African influence on official state structures was minimal (aside from localized exceptions such as the Haitian Revolution).
