Answer:

The correct answer is B) The Silk Road allowed for cultural exchange between China and Persia

Step-by-step explanation:

The Silk road was part of a large and well-established trading route that connected China with the rest of Asia and Middle East.

China was a large exporter for silk, pottery and other goods while they also imported from Middle East and Eastern Europe.

The thriving trade acted as a catalyst and helped to share ideas between many countries. For example, while the Persians learned about paper making, the Chinese were also introduced to Islam.
