How did the popularity of sugar and coffee in Europe affect slaves' lives?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Demand for slave labour on plantations continued

The governing concept is how consumer demand can shape labour systems in a colonial economy. Sugar and coffee became popular European goods, so merchants and plantation owners had a strong incentive to expand production. Plantations depended heavily on enslaved labour, and the expectation of profit encouraged owners to retain, buy and exploit more enslaved workers. For the people held in bondage, this meant continued coercion, exhausting work and harsh discipline rather than improved freedom. Option A is correct because it links popularity in European markets with continued demand for plantation labour. Options B, C and D are wrong: popularity did not produce immediate emancipation, ownership or the end of the slave trade.
