The correct answer is: Most trade routes existed within or around Islamic territories by 1700 CE.
During this period, the expansion of Islamic territories was closely linked to the trade networks that facilitated cultural exchange as well as the movement of people, including missionaries and traders who helped spread the religion. Both overland and sea routes played significant roles in connecting different regions and aiding the spread of Islam.
