What does the centrality of slave labour in the plantation economy make clear?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Colonial production depended heavily on forced labour

Plantations were commercial enterprises growing crops such as sugar, coffee, indigo and tobacco for distant markets. Their profitability depended on a large, controlled and extremely low-cost workforce, supplied through slavery and other forms of coercion. Thus option A correctly links colonial production with forced labour. Machines did not replace the workforce, enslaved people did not receive the profits, and plantation owners specifically required labour to cultivate and process the crops.
