Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The unique aspect of the slave population of North America was that it experienced natural increase, meaning that slaves were able to have children and the population grew through reproduction. This was not the case in other parts of the New World where the slave trade was primarily fueled by the importation of new slaves from Africa.
