Explanation:

To determine the best evidence, we analyze the authors' claim (likely about sugar linking the world through trade). Option C shows a trade connection: Africans selling slaves wanted Indian fabrics, indicating a global trade system (part of how sugar linked the world, as trade networks included such exchanges). Other options: A is general about the system, B is about cutting out Europe (not supporting the link), D is about European buying, not showing the global link as directly as C.

Answer:

C. "Africans who sold other Africans as slaves insisted on being paid in fabrics from India"
