  • A Afrikaners remained politically divided for many years
  • B The Trek resulted in the cultural and economic isolation of the Boers.
  • C The Great Trek led directly to the founding of several autonomous Boer republics
  • D It reduced trade between black and white groups
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
The Great Trek led directly to the founding of several autonomous Boer republics, namely the South African Republic (also known simply as the Transvaal), the Orange Free State, and the Natalia Republic. As a result of the Trek, the Afrikaners remained politically divided for many years. Furthermore, the Trek resulted in the cultural and economic isolation of the Boers. The Great Trek increased the conflicts between the Boers and indigenous tribes, but, on the other hand stimulated trade between black and white groups.
