Answer:
The correct answer is Manumission.
Explanation:
Also known as affranchisement, Manumission is the practice in which a slave owner frees his/her slave/s.
Manumission can have many reasons. While freeing one's slave might seem a benevolent act of giving someone their freedom, that wasn't often the motive behind this practice. Most of the time, manumission was performed to get rid of an older slave that could not perform at their best because of their age. Some other times, manumission was a cruel act made as a punishment to a slave, in which his/her freedom would lead to starvation for a lack of resources.
