How did uniform weights and measures benefit traders?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Confusion in exchange decreased
When regions used different weights and measures, traders had to recalculate quantities and could face disputes or manipulation. A uniform standard made prices and quantities easier to compare, so exchanges became more predictable. Option A is correct because common measures reduced confusion and supported a wider national market. Options B, C and D describe greater division, feudal control or the opposite of increased trade.
