  2. The Turks
  3. The Persians
  4. The Syrians
Explanation
Answer - A - Other than the Europeans, the Arabs ran a large slave trade in Africa.

Key Takeaway: The Arab slave trade focused largely upon the Arab World, mainly Central or West Asia, North Africa, East Africa, and certain parts of Europe during their period in which those regions were dominated by Arab leaders. People traded were not limited to a certain color, ethnicity, or religion. Later, toward the 18th and 19th centuries, slaves increasingly came from East Africa, until slavery was officially abolished by the end of the 19th century.
