Answer:

The correct answers are A) land for farming. B) gold and diamonds. C) ivory. D)rubber and palm oil

Some of the natural resources that attracted Europeans to Africa in the 1800s were land for farming, gold and diamonds, ivory, rubber and palm oil.

Natural resources and raw materials were big reasons for European powers to colonize African nations. Indeed, during the "Scramble for Africa," European countries invaded, conquered and divided African territories from 1881 to 1914. For instance, some of the British colonies were Nigeria, Egypt, Tanzania, Sierra Leone, and South Africa. Some French colonies were Ivory Coast, Senegal, Mauritania, Chad, Gabon, and French Argelia

Baraq

Some of the natural resources that attracted Europeans to Africa in the 1800s are the following:

  • land for farming: during the 19th century, the slave trade is getting banned across Europe and Africa.

  • However, some of the Europeans were attracted by the fertile land on the continent. This made them try to settle. For example the Dutch in South Africa, Portuguese in Angola, Belgian in Congo.

  • gold and diamonds: the attraction to gold and diamond by the Europeans is also evident when many Europeans tried to settle in South Africa and Ghana formerly known as Gold Coast to trade.

  • Ivory: also, some Europeans, particularly the French came to the present-day Ivory Coast to trade in Ivory, in the Western Part of Africa.

Hence, in this case, the correct answer is: land for farming; gold and diamonds; and ivory.
