Answer:

B. The spreading of people of African descent throughout the world due to forced migration

Step-by-step explanation:

"'The African Diaspora'

The transatlantic slave trade led to one of the largest global, forced migrations in history. During the slave trade, around 12.5 million Africans were displaced from their homes and sent to the Americas to work on tobacco, cotton, and sugar plantations. In addition, there were many Africans who were forcibly taken to Europe in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. As a result of these forced migrations, populations of people of African descent grew in both Europe and the Americas. These populations became known as the African Diaspora. Depending on where these populations lived, they had very different experiences integrating into their new societies." (PF World History L3 PDF, pg. 38)

Written confirmation supporting that answer B. [The spreading of people of African descent throughout the world due to forced migration] is CORRECT.
