The correct answer is C. The European population nearly doubled, the Native American population dropped greatly, and millions of Africans were sent to the Americas as slaves.

Many Native Americans died due to diseases brought from Europe and due to wars with Europeans. Millions of Africans were indeed stolen and thrown into slavery and the European population kept increasing through immigration and increased birth rates.
