Answer 1

A. Mecca was in an ideal location that allowed for maritime and land trade to both coincide there.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mecca was located in the cross section between Africa, central Asia, and Europe. IT's commonly used by silk traders to pass through and conduct cultural exchanges with one another.

ON top of that, Mecca was also located near the sea (the Red Sea) . Traders from North Africa and South Asia in particular often conduct a maritime trade from this area.
