Option B.

Explanation:

Most often were domestic servants, is the right answer.

Geographic area, whether rural or urban, hugely influenced the lives of the enslaved. Those slaves who lived in the urban areas generally lived under more favorable circumstances than their rural counterparts. In the early phase of the 19th century, most of the enslaved labor performed the agricultural work in the Southern U. S. However, the urban slaves were employed in households as they were basically domestic servants.
