What is nkanda?

Answer
A
the West African word for “Force Publique”
B
the vigor of the initiate
C
initiation rights

Explanation

Nkanda refers to initiation rites, often the ceremonies through which boys are initiated into adulthood. So “initiation rites” is the correct choice; it is not a term for the Force Publique or for an initiate’s vigor.
