The answer is C. The depopulation of the Americas, the overall effect was a decreased population growth worldwide.

Americans had never had diseases like smallpox, measles, whooping cough, among others, for that reason, they did not have defenses against them, when there was the interchange with the Europeans, there were a lot of deaths, which caused a big decreased in the population and in world general, because native people could not fight with those diseases.
