Answer 1

The correct response is:

• Both became rich through trade in gold and salt.

The ancient African kingdoms of Ghana and Mali were known for their wealth derived from the trade of these valuable resources. They did not establish significant naval forces, did not play roles in the transatlantic slave trade, and while Mali had significant Islamic influence, they did not embrace Catholicism or promote it.
