The correct answer is:

a. Mongol territories provided security and infrastructure to merchants, making trade more efficient.

The Mongol Empire is known for establishing the Pax Mongolica, which facilitated trade across Eurasia by ensuring safer travel and communication along trade routes such as the Silk Road.
