Answer 1

D to obtain guns and other products from Europe

Answer 2

D. To obtain guns and other products from Europe

Step-by-step explanation:

The coastal african kingdoms didn´t have the same technology as the Europeans had, and in order to gain power and expand their kingdoms they needed more power and influence over inland african empires, the advantage that the guns gave them over the tribal empires of continental africa put them one step ahead of their enemies, helping them becoming the rulers of Africa, with the help of trade with the european powers of slaves for guns and other products.
