Option 4 : People can have over lapping identities, those who are Africans can also be Muslims.

The statement above categorises people in groups. The statement does not mention that keeping apart the eighty percent Africans, out of the rest, twenty percent are Muslims or keeping apart the twenty percent, out of the rest, eighty percent are Africans, so option 1 and 2 cannot be right. The statement also does not say that keeping apart the eighty percent Africans, the rest are all Muslims. A person can be an African and a Muslim both since one identity is related to belonging to a continent and the other is a religious identity. Option 4 gives the option of overlapping identities and hence, option 4 is the right answer.
