The correct answer is D) Planters in the Americas imported African slaves as one leg of a triangular trade route.

The statement that describes the transatlantic slave trade is "Planters in the Americas imported African slaves as one leg of a triangular trade route."

The Transatlantic slave trade was the portion of the slave trade that transported African slaves to the Americas during the 16th to the 19th centuries. Historians believe that almost 11 million slaves were transported through the Atlantic Ocean. The Transatlantic slave trade was the second part of the triangle trade. It was called triangular because goods were transported to Africa from Europe, then slaves were transported from Africa to the Americas, and then, cash crops were exported to Europe from the Americas.
