Your answer would be "In West African cultures, slaves were allowed to own slaves of their own, while those in the Atlantic Slave trade were and this was a right granted to slaves in West African cultures."
The rights granted to slaves in West Africa cultures  were different from the rights of slaves in the Atlantic slave trade was because in West African cultures, slaves were allowed to own slaves of their own, while those in the Atlantic Slave trade were and this was a right granted to slaves in West African cultures.
Definitions:
West Africa cultures:
West Africa cultures were cultures that came from the Western region of Africa, typically talking about places like Ghana, Guinea, Mali, and etc.
Atlantic slave trade:
The Atlantic slave trade was a time where African people were enslaved and transported to the Americas. This is one of the ways the Americas got their slaves. This occurred around the 16th to 19th century.
Explanation:
The reason why "In West African cultures, slaves were allowed to own slaves of their own, while those in the Atlantic Slave trade were and this was a right granted to slaves in West African cultures" would be the correct answer is because in the West African culture, slaves were allowed to own their own slaves. It's pretty much saying, a slave could own a slave, and that chain could possibly keep on going. In the West African culture, you can see a lot of slaves that own slaves themselves, and it is just a normal thing in their culture.
The slaves in the Atlantic slave trade did not have any rights like the slaves in West Africa. The slaves that were apart of the Atlantic slave trade had no power at all, the only people that could control them were their owners, in other words, the people in the America's. They also had no right to own their own slaves while being slaves themselves, it didn't work that way for them. They were only owned by their owners and that was it, they had no property to themselves, unless they escaped from their owners to a free state.
Why the other answer choices are incorrect;
Answer choice "In West African cultures, slaves were not allowed to keep their names, while those in the Atlantic slave trade were." is incorrect because:
Slaves in West African Culture could keep their names, since the slave owners in their culture really didn't care about their names anyways. Slaves that were apart of the Atlantic slave trade were given slaves names, and didn't have no right to name themselves. This is the reason why this answer choice would be eliminated.
Answer choice "In West African cultures, slaves were not allowed to wear clothes, while those in the Atlantic slave trade were." is incorrect because:
Slaves in West Africa were allowed to wear clothes while they were in duty of their owners. Same thing in the African Slave Trade, they were also allowed to some clothes, that meaning that they were only wearing a small amount of clothing, keeping their privates not exposed. This is the reason why this answer choice would be eliminated.
Answer choice "In West African cultures, slaves were allowed to eat with their masters, while those in the Atlantic slave trade were not" is incorrect because:
Slaves that were in West Africa usually didn't eat with their masters, and that was something that they had to go through while being a slave. As a slave, they usually ate by themselves, and their masters usually give them barely anything. Same thing goes to the slaves in the Atlantic slave trade, they were not allowed to eat with their masters, they ate by themselves. This is the reason why this answer choice would be eliminated.
