• D. trade

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

The correct options are
A agriculture
D trade

Any economy is stable when all or majority of the people have sufficient food. Agriculture was a major occupation of people during the Gupta age. Gupta empire was strong and tried to improve its strength of trade with the help of sea routes. Most of the people were vegetarian and thus fishing was not one of the major sources of income for the people.
