chose one . PLZ HELP

Answer 1

Answer: I believe the most intentional consequence, would be answer 2. Europeans take corn to Africa. Corn becomes an important crop there.

Explanation: The first answer about the sailors and conquistadors infecting people with smallpox could be unintentional, because they could've not had any symptoms so they didn't know they had smallpox. Answer 3 doesn't make much sense to me.. so, I limited it down to answer 2.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The answer is 3. Affluent Europeans buy sugar from merchants in European cities. Millions of people in Africa are kidnapped by African slave traders and sold to European sugarcane planters in the Caribbean.
