Answer:

A) cloth

Step-by-step explanation:

Slavery in Great Britain was very common in ancient times. The exchange of goods with slaves was known as "Triangular trade".

The ships from England set out with trade goods that were exchanged on the West African shores for slaves. The ship was then loaded with goods sugar, tobacco, molasses, coffee, and cotton to get back the profit from the sale of slaves.

The cloth is not a product that England purchase from the sale of slaves.

Hence, the correct answer is "A) cloth".
