You’re welcome!

okay but why

No, the correct answer is C: "During the Middle Passage, European nations transported slaves from West Africa to the Americas in exchange for goods and resources." The Middle Passage was a significant part of the triangular trade, which involved the transportation of enslaved Africans from West Africa to the Americas. This trade route was known as the Middle Passage because it was the middle leg of a three-part trade network. The first leg involved European ships carrying goods and resources to Africa, where they were traded for enslaved Africans. Then, during the Middle Passage, these enslaved Africans were transported across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas, where they were sold into slavery. Finally, the third leg of the triangle involved European ships carrying goods produced in the Americas back to Europe. Therefore, option C accurately describes the purpose and route of the Middle Passage.
