Sagot :

Answer:

a.

Explanation:

The statement that best supports this is that the caravan left China with armed guards to protect them from bandits. Everyone knew that goods from silk road trades were extremely valuable this included mainly silk but also spices, religious items, and new technology such as gunpowder and paper. Since everyone knew this, caravans known to be holding such items were usually always hit by bandits looking to make a quick profit by stealing all these valuables items. That is why highly valuable caravans were armed with many guards in order to protect all that they carried.
