Correct! The statement "The transatlantic trade network originated with the growth of mercantilism and the need to transport goods across the Atlantic Ocean" investigates the origin of the transatlantic trade network. The development of mercantilist economic policies, which aimed to increase a nation's wealth through exporting more than importing, led to the growth of trade networks such as the transatlantic trade. The need to transport goods between Europe, Africa, and the Americas across the Atlantic Ocean played a significant role in the establishment of this trade network.
