  • A 1806
  • B 1807
  • C 1808
  • D 1809
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Britain finally abolished the trans-Atlantic slave trade in 1807, and the United States implemented its ban a year later in 1808. Despite these legal bans, and subsequent acts to suppress the trade in the United States and elsewhere, the illegal trans-Atlantic slave trade continued into the 1860s.
