Answer
A

Slaves from Africa were used to produce raw materials in the Americas.
C
Raw materials from the Americas were shipped to Europe.
D
Slaves from the Americas were sold in Africa in exchange for finished goods.

Explanation

The triangular trade connected Europe, Africa, and the Americas through a three-part exchange: European finished goods were traded in Africa for enslaved people, enslaved Africans were transported to the Americas and forced to produce raw materials, and those materials were shipped to Europe. Enslaved people were not sold in Africa in exchange for finished goods from the Americas. Therefore, choice D is the transaction that was not part of the triangular trade.
