Answer:

d. silk

Step-by-step explanation:

It is called the Columbian exchange to the process occurred between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries in which agricultural products and other foods of the New World (the American continent) in the Old World (Europe, Africa and Asia) and vice versa were made known. A broader definition also includes technological advances, demographics and even diseases.

The correct answer is D. Silk.
All of the other answer choices were part of the Colombian Exchange. For example, the New World gave the Old World items such as tobacco plants and quinine. Another example would be the Old World introducing animals like horses, sheep, and pigs to the New World. During the Colombian Exchange, people also exchanged new ideas and styles of living.
