Based on historical trade routes and the geographic origins of the listed goods, the correct placement of the items on the map would be:

Good: Geographic Origin

• Silk: China
• Spices: Southeast Asia (specifically the Spice Islands)
• Cotton: India, the Nile Basin, and Central America
• Porcelain: China

Therefore, the first response is the most accurate representation of the geographic origins of these goods. They would be placed accordingly on the map with:

• Silk in China,
• Spices in Southeast Asia,
• Cotton in India, the Nile Basin, and Central America,
• Porcelain also in China.
