The correct response is:
Indigenous Americans in the Caribbean were nearly exterminated by disease and Europeans did not want to work in such brutal conditions.
This highlights that the decline of the Indigenous population due to disease and the reluctance of Europeans to endure the harsh working conditions on sugar plantations led to the reliance on enslaved Africans for labor.
