Respuesta :

I think the correct answer is b

Answer:

Option D.

Explanation:

It greatly depleted the continent's workforce, is the right answer.

For several reasons, the slave trade was harmful to Africa. It sundered families, generated fear, damaged communities and governmental arrangements. Besides this, the most significant reason why this trade was so devastating to Africa was that it exhausted the workforce of the continent. The slave traders were more interested in persons who were strong and had knowledge of agriculture. This meant, the traders bought all those young strong men who had skills and left Africa with weak and unskilled people. This resulted in the depletion of the continent's workforce.
