Based on historical knowledge regarding the geographic origins of the goods listed, the correct placements on the map would be as follows:
- Silk - China
- Spices - India (and also Southeast Asia, but India is a prominent origin)
- Cotton - This is historically associated with China and Persia (modern-day Iran).
- Porcelain - This refers primarily to fine pottery made in China.
Therefore, the most accurate response would be:
Good – Geographic Origin
- Silk – China
- Spices – India
- Cotton – China and Persia
- Porcelain – China
The closest match among the options provided is the first option:
Good – Geographic Origin:
- Silk: China
- Spices: India
- Cotton: China and Persia
- Porcelain: Africa (although porcelain is more accurately from China, there might be historical trade routes with Africa but not direct origin)
While the "Porcelain" origin is misspecified in the first option, it is the best fit based on the overall accuracy of the other goods. Therefore, I would choose that option.
