The correct answer is C. Africans eliminated warriors in rival tribes by selling or trading captured prisoners to slave traders
Explanation
Atlantic slave trade took place from the 16th century to the 19th century as enslaved people from Africa were transported across the Atlantic Ocean where they were forced to work on agriculture or manufacturing of goods that supported the economy in America. In this trade, it was common slave traders bought prisoners captured in the warfares between different tribes or states in Africa, due to this some African benefit economically by capturing people from other ethnic groups or tribes and then selling them as slaves, but selling members of other tribes and prisoners also meant tribes could sell rivals and enemies and thus have advantages over other tribes by eliminating rival warriors. Due to this, the Atlantic slave trade benefits the Africans because rivals and prisoners could be sold to slave traders.
