The statement that best describes the long-term effect of trade routes established in early civilization is:

3. Islam has a strong presence in Southeast Asia.

The establishment of trade routes facilitated the spread of religions like Islam to regions beyond their place of origin. As trade routes were established, merchants and travelers also spread religious beliefs, customs, and ideas, leading to the diffusion of different religions across various regions. In the case of Southeast Asia, Islam was introduced and gained a significant presence due to trade connections and interactions with Muslim traders and merchants.
