Option: a) They prefer death to slavery.

Explanation:

Those slaves who were captured by the European slave traders, taken to America and Europe preferred to die than put into shackles and torture. Captured slaves forced to board the vessel, which will be filled with men, women and children from all over Africa, in one place with no fresh air. The journey would be tremendous trouble with sickness and suffering.
