    Answer: C - slave traders often traded gold for the African slaves

    The slave trade had been the business of rulers and wealthy, powerful merchants during the 15th century. They were concerned with their own selfish interests, with no concept of being African.

    They demand a variety of consumer articles and even gold in exchange for slaves.
