The correct answer is: a) There were trade routes that linked three continents. This Greek city was located in a strategic place since from there you could control the navigation between Eastern Europe, the Balkans, the Aegean Sea, North Africa, Egypt and Asia Minor, you could trade with livestock, slaves, honey, pesacado , wines and wheat, among others.
