The correct response is: Trade increased because surplus crops could be traded.
During the High Middle Ages, agricultural advancements and an increase in productivity led to a surplus of crops. This surplus allowed communities to engage in trade more extensively, as they could exchange excess food for other goods and resources, fostering economic growth and the expansion of trade networks.
