B) Europeans forced African captives to migrate to the Americas in order to build their own settlements in West Africa.
C) African tribes exchanged captive Africans with European slave traders, who transported them to the Americas under inhumane conditions.
D) Southerners sold off the children of their slaves to plantation owners in the Caribbean islands.

Answer 1

Correct answer is C) African tribes exchanged captive Africans with European slave traders, who transported them to the Americas under inhumane conditions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A is not correct as in general not so many Indians crossed Atlantic Ocean in general, and were not part of the Atlantic slave trade.

B is not correct as Africans were not brought there to built their settlement, but to work as slaves.

C is correct as this is the best definition of slave trade. Slaves were sold in West Africa and sent to the New World, where they would work, mostly on plantation, and were treated as they were not human.

D is not correct as this was not the case, and was not included in this process.
