Solution

The correct option is B Maize
When Europeans first touched the shores of the Americas, old world crops such as wheat, barley, rice and turnips had not travelled west across the Atlantic and new world crops such as maize, white potatoes, sweet potatoes and manioc had not travelled east to Europe. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
