Answer:

c. trade within the Kula Ring.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kula refers to an institution in Trobriand Islands economic transaction where one receives red-shell discs arm shell or necklace and then it must be handed over to one of his partners. His partner, in effect, exchanges with him an opposite asset. So nobody can hold an article for a long lime. All who do not share quickly are pitifully blamed. This rule demonstrates that one transaction is not terminating the relationship within Kula trade. Kula relationship between two men is a lifetime affair and a lasting one.
