Well, since a, c, and d don't make any sense, I guess b is correct!
Hi, Kenzi!
In the 1500's, colonization was only just beginning, with Castile in South America and colonizing Panama. I believe that slave trade grew dramatically because sugar was an important export. South America is the center of the world for sugarcane exports. And sugarcane makes sugar. So I agree with Writeacher.
