The answer is: A. Tobacco cultivation

Since this happen prior to industrial revolution, production for almost all products is being done with large number of manual labors. Tobacco was a very hot commodity at a the time since the health risk was still unknown. Slaves would provide large amount of manual labors with very cheap price for the plantation owners.
