What group of people was taken to America and sold as slaves?

The correct choice pertains to the historical context of the transatlantic slave trade, which primarily involved the forced migration and enslavement of millions of African people between the 16th and 19th centuries. This trade was driven by the demand for labor in the Americas, especially in agricultural sectors such as cotton, tobacco, and sugar. African individuals were captured, often through violent means, and transported across the ocean to work under brutal conditions, enduring significant hardships and dehumanization.

The other choices do not accurately reflect the primary group that was enslaved in the context of the transatlantic slave trade. While people from Asia, Native Americans, and Europeans were involved in various forms of servitude or oppression throughout history, it was the African population that experienced this specific systematic enslavement by the millions in a manner that shaped the social and economic frameworks of the Americas.
