Answer 1

The statement that describes developments in the Americas that contributed to the changes in British sugar imports is (c) plantations in the Caribbean and Brazil produced large amounts of sugar. The growth of sugar plantations in the Americas, particularly in the Caribbean and Brazil, led to an increase in sugar production and export. This increase in production made sugar more affordable and accessible, leading to an increase in demand for sugar in Britain and other European countries.
