Explanation:

The end of the North - Atlantic slave trade was a gradual process. Many countries gradually passed laws to prohibit the slave trade. Britain played a significant role by stationing a naval squadron off the West - African coast to intercept slave - trading ships. European and American revolutionaries did not all agree on free wage labor being more productive; the US was not the first to prohibit the slave trade; and it was not the Dutch who persuaded other European governments to ban the slave trade.

Answer:

D. Countries gradually prohibited the slave trade, and Britain posted a naval squadron off the coast of West Africa to prevent any slave trade north of the equator.
