Final answer:
Items from Europe to Africa in the Triangular Trade were mainly manufactured goods such as cloth, spirits, tobacco, beads, metal goods, and firearms, which were exchanged for African slaves. Medieval West African empires traded primarily in gold and salt. Crops like sugar and tobacco, products of slave labor in the Americas, were controversial and attempted to be banned by monarchs. So the correct option is B.
Step-by-step explanation:
The items that would have been traded most often from Europe to Africa as part of the Triangular Trade included manufactured goods such as cloth, spirits, tobacco, beads, metal goods, and firearms. These items were exchanged for African slaves, who weren’t items but people forcibly traded. The firearms and goods were used to help expand empires and obtain more slaves, and were central to the European expansion efforts in Africa. Often, the guns eventually were turned against European colonizers. The medieval empires of West Africa were renowned for trading gold and salt.
Moreover, crops like sugar and tobacco were controversial due to their addictiveness, with monarchs in Europe and China attempting to ban their use, and they were significant products of the slave labor in the Americas. The answer to the initial question provided by the student is, therefore, not listed among the options as they focus on plantation products like indigo, cotton, sugar, tobacco, and molasses that were part of the final stage of the Triangular Trade, generally sent from the Americas to Europe.
