The cotton gin allowed planters the ability to increase cotton production, requiring more slave labor to plant, cultivate, and harvest the cotton, which in turn led to an increase in profits for southern plantation owners.

At the time there were a lot of advancements being made in the textile industry; therefore increased the demand for slave labour. What the cotton gin did was it made picking cotton a much quicker process, and this led slave-owners. So the cotton INCREASED a demand for slave labour because it make cotton-picking much more profitable. So the answer for your question is C :) I hope this helped you xx
