The correct answer is:

Equal representation of the legislature It protected the slave trade

Explanation:

What this Compromise settled was the issue of equal representation of the legislature. It was able to do that by enacting a bicameral legislature. It also gave Congress the power to control interstate commerce. It protected the slave trade by limiting Congresses power. Also, the imposing export taxes were forbidden.
