The correct answer is: The practice of slavery spread and increased as a result of the Columbian Exchange.

Explanation: Old World diseases devastated Native populations and European colonies established labor‑intensive plantations (sugar, tobacco, etc.). Colonists increasingly imported African enslaved people via the transatlantic slave trade, dramatically expanding and racializing slavery in the Americas.
