1 answer

Among the options listed, the most valuable trade goods produced in the Arab world historically include:

  • Cotton textiles: The Arab world was known for its high-quality cotton textiles, which were highly sought after in trade.
  • Silks: While silks were more famously associated with East Asia, the Arab world also engaged in the silk trade and produced silk textiles.

Furs and spices were valuable trade goods but were not predominantly produced in the Arab world. Therefore, the correct answers are cotton textiles and silks.
