The correct placement of the goods and their geographic origins based on historical trade is as follows:

  • Spices: Southeast Asia (primarily Indonesia and surrounding regions)
  • Cotton: India, the Nile Basin, and Central America
  • Porcelain: China

Thus, the first response matches the historically accurate geographic origins of these goods.
