Answer:

All options are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

In ancient Egypt, trade was done among the Egyptians and also among other peoples. Foreign trade was organized by Pharaoh, who was responsible for commanding the expeditions. Geographically, Egypt was favored and had business with some Greek islands, with Africa and with Asia. The exchange of goods was used as exchange.

The Nile River provided an avenue for commerce and many people came from other regions looking for Egyptian products. The main products that the Egyptians exported were gold (much requested by other peoples), papyrus, flax, wheat and artifacts made by artisans. There are reports of Egyptian horse exports to other parts of Africa. In addition, the Egyptians imported lapis lazuli from what today is Afghanistan.

l I believe all of these are correct. The Egyptians created beautiful pieces of Jewelry, they did export Horses to other places in Africa. They also imported the rich deep blue colored stone known as the Lapis Lazuli from Afghanistan, and the Nile was a major was for the Egyptians to trade with others.
