Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation

Islam is the predominant religion in northern Nigeria, particularly among the Hausa and Fulani ethnic groups. Islam was introduced through trade and migration, beginning around the 11th century. It plays a significant role in the region's culture and legal system, with many states in the north implementing Sharia law for Muslims. Islam coexists with Christianity, which is more common in southern Nigeria. The religious diversity of Nigeria often shapes its cultural practices, festivals, and political dynamics.
