D- It greatly depleted the continent's workforce.

The Transatlantic slave trade had a profoundly damaging impact on Africa primarily because it significantly depleted the continent's workforce. The widespread capture and exportation of millions of Africans as slaves to the Americas resulted in the forced removal of able-bodied men and women, causing severe disruption to African societies and economies. The loss of a large portion of the population, particularly those capable of contributing to economic, social and cultural development, had long-lasting detrimental effects on Africa's growth and development.
