Answer 1

The statement that best describes the changes brought to world populations as a result of the European colonization of the Americas is B. The European population nearly doubled, the Native American population dropped greatly, and millions of Africans were sent to the Americas as slaves.

As the European population doubled, they require bigger territory for the establishment of their homes and businesses. They drove away Native Americans from their own lands and even massacred some of them if they stand up and fight for their lands. Africans were sent to Americas as slaves to landowners, homeowners, and businessmen.
