choose the best way to complete this paragraph about the economic factors behind the transatlantic slave trade.
the slave ships brought in weapons and fabric from europe and sold them to warlords and slave traders in ports of africa. the slave traders in return sold the slave ship owners the captured men, women, and children. industries in europe depended on the blank that the enslaved people produced in the european colonies in the americas.
options for the blank: raw materials, finished products, equipment

Explanation:

In the transatlantic slave trade, European colonies in the Americas used enslaved people to produce raw materials (like cotton, sugar, etc.) which were then sent to Europe for industrial use. Finished products would be made in Europe, and equipment was not the main output of enslaved labor in colonies. So the correct term is "raw materials".

Answer:

raw materials
