Solution

The correct option is C it provided work for many people
The first line of the passage mentions that seafaring was an important source of work and not just for sailors and fishermen. Although it is also mentioned that ships needed sails and ropes, this is not one of the main reasons seafaring was important. Hence, the answer is option C) it provided work for many people.
