Which thesis best synthesizes exploration, exchange, labor, and commerce for the period before 1754?
A
European exploration mattered only because it improved navigation charts while leaving societies unchanged.
B
European exploration opened sustained Atlantic contact, and the resulting exchanges produced epidemics, coerced labor systems, environmental change, and commodity networks.
C
The Columbian Exchange was limited to peaceful crop swaps that did not affect labor or empire.
D
Atlantic commerce developed before exploration and therefore had no connection to colonization.
