Answer:

Option: D. They were treated as family

Step-by-step explanation:

Slaves in Africa treated like family. Slaves not seen as personal property (chattel slaves). Certain rights were given just like indentured subjection like in the rest of the world. In Africa, slaves were used in different places like in domestic and court services. Slaves were also given training in military units to become military to fight against the enemies of his lord. In other words, Slavery was not harsh in Africa compared to America and other colonies where they were forced to suffer.
