The correct answer is D. The presence of oil.

Explanation

Oil extraction is an economic activity in which this natural resource is extracted from the earth and sold to be used as a raw material in different products such as gasoline. In the Middle East, the extraction of this resource is controlled by wealthy families who control not only the economy but in some cases, politics, which allows them to use the resources obtained from this business for their benefit. An example of this is in the percentage of the profits they obtain is around 91%, while the rest of the population obtains 9%, causing the gap between the poor and the rich to widen and thus there is inequality. So, the correct answer is D. The presence of oil.

Which is true about the Atlantic slave trade?
sweet [91]

But responsibility for the slave trade is not simple. On the one hand, it was indeed the Europeans who purchased large numbers of Africans, and sent them far away to work in their colonies. On the other hand, Africans bear some responsibility themselves: some African societies had long had their own slaves, and they cooperated with the Europeans to sell other Africans into slavery. The Europeans relied on African merchants, soldiers and rulers to get slaves for them, which they then bought, at convenient seaports.

Africans were not strangers to the slave trade, or to the keeping of slaves. There had been considerable trading of Africans as slaves by Islamic Arab merchants in North Africa since the year 900. When Leo Africanus travelled to West Africa in the 1500s, he recorded in his The Description of Africa and of the Notable Things Therein Contained that, "slaves are the next highest commodity in the marketplace. There is a place where they sell countless slaves on market days." Criminals and prisoners of war, as well as political prisoners were often sold in the marketplaces in Gao, Jenne and Timbuktu.

Perhaps because slavery and slave trading had long existed in much of Africa (though perhaps in forms less brutal than the slavery practised in the Americas), Africans were untroubled by selling slaves to Europeans.

Genna is engaged in _____ when she repeats a building name and office number over and over to herself before writing it down.
jenyasd209 [6]
The appropriate response is Maintenance Rehearsal. It is a term for the part of redundancy in the maintenance of recollections. It includes rehashing data, again and again, keeping in mind the end goal to get the data prepared and put away in a memory. Upkeep practice is a sort of memory practice that is valuable in keeping up data in here and now memory or working memory. Since this, for the most part, includes rehashing data without contemplating its significance or interfacing it to other data, the data isn't normally exchanged for long-haul memory.
