Solution

The correct option is B To replace the labour provided by the native Americans.
The Native Americans were the indigenous people of the continent of America. They existed as various tribes and were constantly at war with each other. But collectively they tried their best to resist being enslaved by the British. When the Native Americans refused to work in the European plantations, the Europeans ended up shipping slaves from Africa.
