C. To work on the plantations of the Southern colonies.
Many enslaved Africans were brought to colonial America to work on the large agricultural plantations, particularly in the Southern colonies. They were forced into labor on plantations that produced cash crops such as tobacco, rice, and indigo. The demand for labor in these agricultural enterprises led to the widespread importation of enslaved individuals from Africa to the American colonies.
