Correct answer: Goods were traded from one middleman to another all along the way.

Explanation: The Silk Road was a network of routes where items were passed along in a relay—local merchants and caravans carried goods across segments and sold them to the next trader. Rarely did a single caravan or ship carry items the whole distance, and while some goods were produced locally or transported by sea on maritime routes, the defining feature was the chain of middlemen (relay trade).
