The correct answer is C. Villages lost many skilled members of the community
Explanation:
The slave trade or Atlantic slave trade refers to the transportation of African people, especially from West and Central Africa to the American continent where they became workforce in different fields. This trade was also linked to the trade of different goods from America to Europe and then goods from Europe to Africa that were exchanged for slaves. In terms of the African villages and communities, the slave trade had important negative effects, not only because thousands of families were separated but because warriors and other skilled members were permanently lost during the trade, which weakened tribes. Therefore, the way in which the slave trade hurt village life in West and Central Africa was that villages lost many skilled members of the community.
