Based on the options provided, the best inference from the map would likely be:

Phoenicians traded with peoples in Africa and Europe.

This inference highlights the primary activity for which the Phoenicians are known—trade—especially since they were famous for their maritime trade networks. The other options involve assumptions about warfare, population size, and agricultural climate that may not be directly supported by a map alone.
