B Correct answer
Explanation

The racial classifications mentioned are problematic and outdated. Indonesians are predominantly Austronesian with Australoid influences in eastern regions, not pure Australoid. West Europeans are Caucasoid, not Mongoloid. South Americans have diverse racial makeup including Indigenous, European, African, and mixed populations, not just Negroid. Only 'North Africans - Caucasoid' has some validity.
