The answer is d: huge numbers of Africans died within a few years of arriving in the Americas. Many Africans who were captured were put in cramped conditions where many of them did not survive the trip. Those who did were sold and were made to work on plantations. Some slaves where whipped if they angered their masters while others died either from over worked or cruelty.
