The correct answer is option 3: to help trade take place peacefully between regions. Merchants created trade agreements to establish mutually beneficial terms and conditions for conducting trade activities. These agreements provided a framework for resolving disputes, ensuring fair trade practices, and protecting merchants and their assets. By creating trade agreements, merchants aimed to promote peace and stability in the regions involved in the trade, making it easier for goods and services to be exchanged between different areas.
