B. The Portuguese were the first to capture Africans and sell them as slaves

Explanation:

The African slave trade started with Portugal and other European countries. When they had enough power and resources, they wanted to adventure and go overseas. The Portuguese were the first to arrive in Africa, and with the Portuguese being way more advanced, the Africans did not stand a chance. Slaves were kidnapped and thrown on ships, primarily to be later sold or traded for goods. Henry the Navigator, who was a Portuguese Prince, is well known for taking many Africans off of the coast and forcing them into slavery.
