Solution

The correct option is A Arabs
India had inland and maritime trade relations with foreign countries. The two major inland trade routes were from Lahore to Kabul, and from Multan to Kandahar. The Arabs were the middlemen in the import of horse from Central Asia. With the arrival of the Portuguese, the Arabs lost their influence over this trade and the Portuguese gained the upper hand.
