  • C Banu Ma'qil and Sonni Ali
  • D Almoravids and Sonni Ali
Correct Answer

Explanation

The Banu Hilal and Banu Ma'qil were Arab Bedouin tribes from the Arabian Peninsula that migrated westwards via Egypt between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries.
Their migration led to the fusion of Arab and Berber cultures, where the locals were Arabized, and Arab cultural elements assimilated with the local culture, largely influenced by Islam.
