The correct response is: **It greatly increased the slave trade that already existed in Africa.**
The Columbian Exchange, which facilitated the movement of goods, crops, and populations between the Old World and the New World, also significantly escalated the demand for labor in the Americas, particularly for plantation agriculture. This demand led to an increase in the transatlantic slave trade, as European powers sought to enslave more Africans to fulfill the labor needs in their colonies.
