Explanation:

To determine which detail depicts the inhumanity of the transatlantic slave trade, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Describing Africa's societies before Europeans arrived is about pre - slave - trade African history, not the inhumanity of the slave trade.
• Option B: Weaving a fictional slave character into factual text is a literary technique, not a depiction of the slave trade's inhumanity.
• Option C: A six - year - old (Venture Smith) being captured, sold, and held with a rope around his neck directly shows the cruel and inhumane treatment of slaves during the transatlantic slave trade.
• Option D: Descriptions of Crusade expeditions are about a different historical event (the Crusades) and not related to the transatlantic slave trade.
