Answer:
Answer=>D. It allowed black farmers to buy land and gave them long-term security.
Explanation:
In addition, while sharecropping gave African Americans autonomy in their daily work and social lives, and freed them from the gang-labor system that had dominated during the slavery era, it often resulted in sharecroppers owing more to the landowner (for the use of tools and other supplies, for example) than they were.
