It prompted a feeling of racial superiority among Europeans.

European slave traders captured slaves in Africa during the transatlantic slave trade.
The Atlantic slave trade and the Middle Passage emerged as a direct consequence of European colonization in the Americas, where the demand for labor to cultivate cash crops like sugar, tobacco, and cotton surged. European powers turned to Africa, where existing systems of slavery were adapted to meet this demand, leading to the forced transportation of millions of enslaved Africans across the Atlantic. The established trade networks in Africa facilitated the capture and sale of enslaved individuals, while European traders exploited these systems to profit from the burgeoning colonial economies. This brutal trade not only fueled the growth of European colonies but also had devastating effects on African societies and cultures.
Of those three options, "Limiting American influence in Africa" is the least connected with European Imperialism, but it is worth noting that the others are also minimally connected . The US did not have any serious influence in Africa prior to the mid-1800s and was not attempting to strengthen connections between the US and Africa (especially after the US banned the slave trade in 1807). As a result, the Europeans were not worried about American influence in Africa to the extent that they would want to limit it."Population Overcrowding in Europe" led to an increased desire to settle other places, but it did not lead to imperialism per se. "Expanding the European slave trade" is also not really a reason for European Imperialism since, by the mid-1800s, most European countries had banned slavery, but as late as the early 1800s, a number of European countries were still trying to expand their African slavery networks.
