Verified Answer :

The correct answer to this question is B - The most inexpensive way to ship products from the Orient would have been by sea routes across several oceans. This is due to the massive amount that can be shipped using a boat, and the fact fuel is not needed because these sea routes would simply rely on wind and sea power.
