Answer:A is the correct answer

Explanation:

Most African American are into Christianity so most of their beliefs are based on the Bible faith.

In the Bible mostly God punishes people for their rebellion and sins even though He is seen as a forgiving God but according to the faith constantly sinful nature is punishable and mostly African American hold onto this belief that one's sin will have consequences such as illness.
