Of those three options, "Limiting American influence in Africa" is the least connected with European Imperialism, but it is worth noting that the others are also minimally connected . The US did not have any serious influence in Africa prior to the mid-1800s and was not attempting to strengthen connections between the US and Africa (especially after the US banned the slave trade in 1807). As a result, the Europeans were not worried about American influence in Africa to the extent that they would want to limit it.

"Population Overcrowding in Europe" led to an increased desire to settle other places, but it did not lead to imperialism per se. "Expanding the European slave trade" is also not really a reason for European Imperialism since, by the mid-1800s, most European countries had banned slavery, but as late as the early 1800s, a number of European countries were still trying to expand their African slavery networks.
