The correct choice is: trade in slaves, sugar, and manufactured goods between Europe, Africa, and the Americas.
Briefly: European ships carried manufactured goods to Africa (guns, cloth, rum), exchanged them for enslaved people who were transported to the Americas (the Middle Passage), where they were sold and plantation products (sugar, tobacco, cotton, etc.) were loaded for Europe. This Atlantic triangular trade operated from the 16th through the early 19th century and was central to the transatlantic slave system and colonial economies.
