The most accurate inference about the states that show an increase of enslaved workers and have low cotton shares is:

A. Those states used slave labor to grow different crops.

This is because if these states have low cotton shares but still show an increase in enslaved workers, it suggests that they were likely utilizing enslaved labor for other types of agriculture or crops rather than primarily focusing on cotton production.
