Model Answer
(B) Clothes and spices
Textiles and spices from India and Southeast Asia travelled through the Silk Route to other parts of the world.
Explanation
The passage from Chapter 3 explicitly states: "Chinese pottery also travelled the same route, as did textiles and spices from India and Southeast Asia." Note that gold and silver flowed in the opposite direction — from Europe to Asia. Students must read carefully to avoid choosing option (A).
