A slave trader would try to make the biggest profit from selling enslaved Africans by striking up business relationships with local African Chiefs, and by crowding as many Africans on boats as possible during the Middle Passage from Africa to the New World.
Establishing a business relationships with local chiefs enabled the traders to continuously purchase new slaves, rather than trying to steal local Africans, which would lead to conflict and a lack of certainty that they would be able to continue acquiring slaves in this way.
The conditions on the slave ships were unimaginably horrible and designed to efficiently transport as many slaves per trip as possible. Slaves were lined up in the hull of the ship, either standing or all laying down, in order to conserve space and pack as many in as possible.

Explanation:
You didn't provide answer choices, but I can explain why it was called the Trail of Tears.
The US government sought to removed the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek and Seminole peoples to leave their lands and move west to designated "Indian territory." The Cherokee nation fought the decision in the courts. The Supreme Court (in Worcester v. Georgia) decided in favor of the Cherokee, ruling that the Cherokee and other Indian nations were ""distinct, independent political communities retaining their original natural rights."
But President Andrew Jackson chose not to enforce the court's decision. He said at the time: "The decision of the Supreme Court has fell stillborn, and they find that it cannot coerce Georgia to yield to its mandate." The Cherokee ultimately were forced to relocate and leave Georgia. They were moved to designated territory in Oklahoma.
More than a quarter of the Cherokee people died on the journey to the designated Indian territory because of a lack of food, clothing, supplies and transportation. So it truly was a "trail of tears."
