The statement that best explains why people in West Africa eat manioc is: "Europeans introduced manioc to Africa after encountering it in America."

Manioc (also known as cassava) is native to South America, and it was brought to Africa by European colonizers during the Columbian Exchange. Once introduced, it became an important staple in many African diets due to its adaptability and the high yield it offers.
