Answer 1

The main goal of the coastal African kingdoms was to obtain guns and other products from Europe.

Answer: Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

• The African kingdoms were aware of the availability of the technology of guns and other weapons that the Europeans had.
• They believed that having advanced weapons like guns would easily allow them to establish control over the interiors of the continent.
• And, would ultimately help them expand their kingdoms. The export of guns from Europe to Africa was counted as a major contemporary trade.
