To determine the correct geographic origins of silk, spices, cotton, and porcelain, we can map each good based on historical trade routes and production areas:

  • Silk: Originated in China.
  • Spices: Primarily sourced from Southeast Asia (historically known as the "Spice Islands") and India.
  • Cotton: Historically produced in India and sometimes the Nile Basin, with later production in parts of Europe.
  • Porcelain: Also originated in China.

Given these origins, the response that accurately reflects this information would be:

Good Geographic Origin Silk China Spices India Cotton India and northern Europe Porcelain China

This highlights the correct origins for each of the goods listed in the question.
