    Option: B. They practiced Islam and traditional native beliefs.

    Explanation:

    When Portugal began its voyages to discover new land, their main aim was to acquire wealth, glory and spread Christianity. Prince Henry of Portugal wanted to convert and spread Christianity in Africa because he wanted to maintain a strong Christian hold outside Europe. By converting, Portugal would be able to maintain a good relationship with local people and traders for trading purposes to gain wealth.
