I don't know, but I believe slaves were a big draw.
I'd say C. Many slaves were from West Africa, where gold is an important resource.
The correct answer to the question is "c. gold and slaves." Europeans were drawn to sub-Saharan Africa in their quest for both gold and slaves. However, it's worth noting that throughout history, various European powers were also interested in other resources such as diamonds and other valuable commodities. While diamonds were indeed present in sub-Saharan Africa, they were not the primary focus of European interest during the early period of European exploration and colonization in the region. The primary objectives were to obtain gold and to establish the slave trade, which became a significant part of European involvement in sub-Saharan Africa.
