Answer 1

The answer is - B.  "The details about sugar’s dependency on slavery help inform readers about why sugar was inexpensive".

The authors of this book “Sugar Changed the World”, Marc Aronson and his wife Marina Budhos wanted to inform the readers about the many wasted lives, sufferings from slavery and long journeys it took to produce sugar for Europe’s sweet tooth in order to “enjoy” such a cheaper product than the honey they had closed at hand. It was cheap because in slavery you do not pay the workers.
