Answer: c. the middle east
Explanation: Timbuktu and Jenna were thriving commercial hubs that connected West Africa to North Africa, Europe and the Middle East. These cities maintained a strong tie to the Middle East due to the Islamic influence of the Middle East on the largely Muslim population. Gold was traded across the continents using camels while cereals and dried fish were transported from Jenna to Timbuktu to cater to the arid region.
