Explanation:

During the transatlantic slave trade, the majority of enslaved Africans were forced to South America (especially Brazil) and the Caribbean. These regions had large - scale plantation economies (sugar, etc.) that demanded extensive labor, and historical records show a high volume of enslaved Africans were sent there compared to other regions. Options with Asia are incorrect as the transatlantic trade mainly focused on the Americas and Caribbean. Options with Europe or North America received fewer enslaved Africans than South America and the Caribbean.

C. South America & the Caribbean
