Final answer:

The movement of goods and people, in which enslaved people were sold from Africa, raw goods were sold back to Europe, and finished goods were exported to Africa and the colonies, is called A. the Triangular Trade.

Step-by-step explanation:

The movement of goods and people, in which enslaved people were sold from Africa, raw goods were sold back to Europe, and finished goods were exported to Africa and the colonies, is called A. the Triangular Trade.

This trade system was named after the rough outline of the shape made on a map, representing the three stages of the trading process involving three continents (Europe, Africa, and the Americas).

In the first stage, manufactured goods from Europe were taken to Africa and exchanged for African slaves. In the second stage, slaves were transported across the Atlantic to the Americas.

Finally, in the third stage, crops such as indigo, cotton, sugar, tobacco, molasses, and rum produced by slave labor in the Americas were brought back to Europe.
