What was the most correct relation between slavery and the European market?

Correct answer: European demand increased colonial production based on slave labour

The governing concept is the relationship between European commercial demand and colonial plantation production. European consumers and merchants wanted commodities such as sugar, coffee, and tobacco. To supply this market, colonial plantations expanded, and their owners relied on enslaved labour to produce large quantities at high profit. In this way, market demand strengthened an economy based on coercion and colonial exploitation. Option A is correct because it states both parts of the relationship: European demand and production based on slave labour. B is historically opposite, since market demand initially supported slavery; C denies the colonial trade connection; and D confuses market demand with the representative institution of the Estates General.
