The Europeans decided to use African slaves because the American Indian groups were decimated and exploited beyond capacity, as shown in the second answer option.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • When Europeans arrived in America, they saw Native American tribes as a great source of cheap labor.
  • They tried to enslave the natives, but they brought diseases that the natives' bodies were not adapted to.
  • This created a series of epidemics that killed most Native Americans.
  • The number of natives left was too small to meet the Europeans' goals, even if the natives were exploited beyond capacity.

For this reason, Europeans needed to look for another source of slave labor and saw that the African continent was the best place to achieve this, mainly because the Catholic Church allowed the slavery of blacks, who were and are the majority of the African population.
