Answer 1

The correct response is: **It was implied that Africans were inferior to Europeans.**

Mercantilism, which was an economic theory prevalent during the time of transatlantic trade, often involved the exploitation of colonies and the resources found there, including the use of African slaves in the transatlantic slave trade. This system contributed to the justification of the belief in European superiority and the dehumanization of African people.
