Which statement best describes the effect of Triangular Trade on Africa?

Communities were devastated, the population declined, families were torn apart, and slave trading wars claimed even more African lives.

Societal fabric was destroyed, between 10-15 million Africans were sent to the New World, and the rise of African state banks occurred.

Young, healthy Africans were sent to the New World, a smallpox epidemic further decreased the population, and Africa began growing coffee.

Ten to twenty percent of Africans on the Middle Passage died due to inhumane conditions, West Africa became a trading post for corn and wheat, and wars for colonial control began.
