    B.)

    Explanation:

    Out of all of the answer choices provided, B.) makes the most sense. Africans were enslaved so their only means of escape was to run away. They were never given a change to be let out, instead they were kept or sold as if they were objects, not human beings. They were not indentured servants because they were forced to work, against their will. Whites were plantation owners, not slaves unless they were half black.
