Answer:
B. "The kind of sugar easiest to produce from cane is dark"
D. "wanted it to be as pure, sweet, and white as possible"
Explanation:
This best supports the inference that white sugar was rarer and more valuable than brown sugar. If dark/brown sugar was easier to produce, then it would obviously not be as worth as much. How white was called pure and sweet put it at a higher value than brown sugar.
