The option that MOST influenced the Scramble for Africa is:

(A) Africa's supply of valuable natural resources

The Scramble for Africa, which took place during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, was driven largely by European powers' interests in Africa's abundant natural resources, such as rubber, diamonds, gold, and other raw materials. This economic motivation played a crucial role in the colonization and partitioning of the continent.
