Answer :

Answer:

d.) Slavery, which had been condemned by the Dutch, was introduced.

Explanation:

When New Netherlands became New York, slavery was introduced as a significant societal change. While the Dutch had condemned slavery, the British, who took over the colony and renamed it New York, did not share the same stance. The British colonial authorities gradually introduced and expanded the institution of slavery, leading to its widespread practice in the region. This shift represented a fundamental change in the labor system and social structure of the colony.
