Solution

The correct option is D Geographical location was favourable.
India and China were two of the world’s wealthiest countries until the eighteenth century. The geographical location was favourable for the Indian subcontinent; it was an important point in the trade networks. The Indian Ocean provided easy transportation. India and China traded spices, silk, pottery and minerals with other countries. Industries were not established in India, but it provided raw materials to countries like England.
