Question

how did maize impact farming in africa? it thrived in diverse climates and supported larger populations. it replaced rice as the primary crop in africa. it had no effect on african agriculture. it led to the destruction of african farmlands.

Explanation:

Maize (corn) is known to be adaptable to various climates in Africa. Its high yield and nutritional value supported population growth. The other options are incorrect: it didn’t destroy farmlands, had a major impact on agriculture, and didn’t simply replace rice (different regions had different primary crops, and maize complemented or became a new staple in many areas).

Answer:

It thrived in diverse climates and supported larger populations.
