Correct answer: city, then kingdom.

As a trading town grows in population, complexity, and regional influence it becomes a city; continued expansion and centralization of power over surrounding towns and lands leads to formation of a kingdom (e.g., trading centers in West Africa grew into powerful kingdoms/empires such as Ghana, Mali, and Songhai).
