Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "D": may have introduced yams and bananas to Africa.

Step-by-step explanation:

As a result of East African trade during the formations of its ancient civilizations, traders arrived by sea from as far as southeast Asia. Trade through the Mediterranean and the Red Sea little by little became a profitable source of income. Malayan traders settled in the Island of Madagascar -the coast of Eastern Africa, and it is believed that they were the ones who introduced crops such as yams, bananas, and cinnamon to Africa.
