The answer is A. Corn In South America.

Corn was very crucial to the Colombian exchange for farmers could grow corn nearly anywhere. Farmers received much more money when they traded corn.

The correct answer is B. Cattle did not exist in the Americas until the colombian exchange. Corn was already in the America’s and was later introduced into Europe. Horses and wheat were already in Europe prior to the colombian exchange.
