The correct answer is C. The transatlantic journey that African slaves made to America

Explanation:

The "Middle Passage" was the name given to the forced journey Africans endure as they were captured in West Africa and brought to America in crowded ships with poor conditions that crossed the Atlantic. This was part of the Triangular trade in which slaves were taken to America, then products from America were taken to Europe and from Europe, products were traded in exchanges of slaves. It is estimated around 6 millions of Africans were part of the "Middle passage" but around a quarter died during it due to the poor traveling conditions. Therefore, the middle passage was basically the transatlantic journey that African slaves made to America.
