B) slave traders delivered sugar and other goods from Europe to North America.
C) ships from European ports brought goods to Africa in exchange for human beings.
D) indentured servants from Europe received passage to America in exchange for labor.
The correct answer is:
C) ships from European ports brought goods to Africa in exchange for human beings.
Explanation: The first part of the transatlantic trade route, also known as the triangular trade, involved European ships traveling to Africa, where they exchanged goods such as textiles, guns, and other trading items for enslaved individuals. This process set the stage for the next leg of the journey, known as the Middle Passage, where enslaved people were transported to the Americas.
