Which option correctly describes the reciprocal relationship between trade and craft production?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Trade supplied raw materials, and craft producers made goods for exchange
The governing concept is reciprocal economic interdependence. Trade brought metals, stones, shells, and other raw materials to craft specialists; in return, artisans produced beads, ornaments, tools, and other goods that could enter exchange networks. Thus option A correctly describes both directions of the relationship. Options B, C, and D are absolute claims that ignore the archaeological evidence for specialised production, movement of materials, and markets beyond the immediate production site.
