Answer: D

Explanation: While all are excellent answer choices which indeed all took place in the middle passage of the "Triangular Trade", which means that rum and other goods were shipped to Great Britain for finished goods. From there, ships sailed to West Africa to pick up slaves and transport them to the Caribbean in exchange for sugar and other crops. From there, ships then sailed back to New England and the whole Triangular Trade cycle began which lasted for almost 200 years when slavery was abolished in Great Britain in 1831.

Hope this explanation helps.

Best of luck to you!
