Answer 1

The answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cape Verde was uninhabited until the 15th century, when Portuguese explorers discovered and colonized the islands, establishing the first European settlement in the tropics. Ideally located for the Atlantic slave trade, Cape Verde is an island nation in the Atlantic Ocean off the northwestern coast of Africa. Sugarcane, another cash crop for Cape Verde, is used on the islands to produce rum.
