Solution

The correct option is B Invention of the magnetic compass
Chinese trade during the Song dynasty was most strongly influenced by the invention of the magnetic compass. The magnetic compass allowed the Chinese to expand their trading routes further into the Indian Ocean and the Persian Gulf than had ever been possible before. In addition, the invention of the magnetic compass allowed the Chinese to open a direct trading route to the eastern African coast.
