what did european slave traders do to get more slaves once they realized it was not practical to kidnap the number of african people they needed?
they fueled rivalries between tribes and suggested that tribal leaders to sell prisoners of war.
they began to look to other cultures - in india and asia - as a source for slaves.
they gradually abandoned the slave trade and went in search of another commodity.
they hired arab soldiers to attack entire villages and round up all of the young men.

Explanation:

European slave traders realized kidnapping was impractical. They exploited tribal rivalries. By fueling conflicts, they got tribal leaders to sell prisoners of war as slaves. This was a common practice during the slave - trade era. Other options are incorrect: they mainly focused on Africa (not India/Asia), didn't abandon slave trade, and didn't hire Arab soldiers for mass - rounding as described.

Answer:

They fueled rivalries between tribes and suggested that tribal leaders to sell prisoners of war.
