India and the Indian Ocean trade routes were dependent upon the climatic variations of the monsoon seasons. What areas did the monsoon system affect the most?
a. Governance and social caste
b. Trade and agriculture
c. Manufacturing and agriculture
d. Trade and governance
It would be "b. Trade and agriculture" that the monsoon system affected the most, since trade was highly dependent on the weather, as was farming, since a lack of conducive weather could lead to very poor crop growth.
