      The correct answer is C. Portugal was close to Africa and accessible via the Atlantic.

      Explanation: Portugal’s geographical proximity to Africa, combined with its location along the Atlantic Ocean, facilitated maritime exploration and trade routes. This accessibility enabled Portugal to establish trade networks, including the slave trade, making it a significant player in the transatlantic slave trade during the 15th and 16th centuries.
