Mercantilism, a dominant economic theory from the 16th to 18th centuries, was closely tied to the transatlantic trade route and had several implications. Among the options you provided, the most relevant implication of mercantilism in the context of transatlantic trade would be:
**It was implied that nationalism was an important idea.**
Mercantilism placed a strong emphasis on national strength and wealth, which was often measured by the accumulation of gold and silver and a favorable balance of trade. This economic theory encouraged countries to promote their interests through trade, colonialism, and the exploitation of resources in the colonies, fostering a sense of nationalism as nations sought to compete with one another for dominance.
While the other options may carry historical truths, they don't directly align with the core principles of mercantilist theory as it relates to the economic motivations and implications of the transatlantic trade routes.
