The correct answer is "B) The Middle Passage".

The Middle Passage was part of the Triangular Trade route. In this stage of the route, Africans who were forcibly transported to the Americas to be used as slaves crossed the Atlantic Ocean to a point in the Caribbean, where they would eventually be distributed to a certain colony in the Americas.

Africans who made the trip had little to none access to basic services, this resulted in high mortality rates that ranged from 15 to 25% of the total of people who made the trip.
