D. The British parliament responded to the popular outcry and abolished the slave trade. In 1807, the British Parliament passed the Slave Trade Act, which made it illegal to engage in the slave trade throughout the British Empire. This act did not end slavery itself, which would continue in the British colonies until the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833, but it did mark a significant step towards the ultimate abolition of slavery.
