The image of a mosque in Timbuktu does not directly demonstrate Arab influence on West African culture. While the mosque itself may have been influenced by Arab architectural styles, the image does not provide evidence for any of the options mentioned. The presence of two people carrying baskets in front of a wall does not relate to the ways in which Arab influence impacted West African culture. Therefore, none of the options presented are accurate in describing how the image reflects Arab influence on West African culture.
