Answer 2

The correct answer to this question is A) They linked Africa’s goods with Eastern markets of Asia.

The cities of Southern and Eastern coasts, such as Malindi and Mombassa were different from those in the African kingdoms in that they linked Africa’s goods with Eastern markets of Asia.

Mombasa, the main port of Kenia, was an important trade port in the Indian Ocean, where products such as coconuts, sugar, and cotton from Arabia and India, were traded. Malindi Bay is located in the Galana River. The people from Maladi exported rhino horns, rice, ivory, and millet. Both port cities linked African’s goods with important markets of Eastern Asia.
