Answer:

A.They traded with each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Shona are a group of Bantus speaking peoples living in Zimbabwe, north of the Lundi River, and in southern Mozambique. They were notable for their iron, pottery and music pieces. Since they had many goods that were desirable by many other peoples, they profited quite well from trading with Swahili, Arab, and Eastern Asian peoples.
