Answer:

The sentence that best states the author’s claim in this passage is B) Advances in the production of sweeteners hastened the end of involuntary servitude

Explanation:

At the beginning of the paragraph, the author explains that beet sugar showed the world that they did not need slaves to obtain sugar. Now, sugar can be made in a lab without needing plantations.
