The option that best describes the two roles traditional hinterlands fulfilled related to their ports is:
producing goods to be exported through the port and being a market for goods being imported at the port.
This captures the economic relationship between ports and their hinterlands, as ports served as points for the export of locally produced goods and, conversely, as markets for goods brought in from elsewhere.
