This is not accurate because sugar cultivation and processing is labor-intensive.## Step 5Option b) suggests that European farmers refused to grow sugar. This is not accurate because sugar was a highly profitable crop and was widely grown by European farmers.## Step 6Option c) suggests that sugar plantations needed a large labor force for high-demand production.
