The correct answer is D. The Satavahanas had extensive trade links with the Roman Empire, China, and Southeast Asia.
The Satavahanas were a dynasty that ruled over the Deccan region of India from the 2nd century BCE to the 3rd century CE. They were known for their patronage of art and literature, and for their extensive trade links with other parts of the world.
The Satavahanas traded with the Roman Empire through the port of Muziris (now known as Kodungallur) in Kerala. The Romans were interested in Indian spices, such as pepper, cloves, and nutmeg, as well as ivory and textiles. The Satavahanas traded with China through the port of Tamralipti (now known as Tamluk) in West Bengal. The Chinese were interested in Indian silk, cotton, and other textiles, as well as spices and precious stones.
The Satavahanas also traded with Southeast Asia through the port of Kaveripattinam (now known as Poompuhar) in Tamil Nadu. Southeast Asia was interested in Indian spices, textiles, and other goods, as well as Indian culture and religion.
The Satavahanas’ extensive trade links helped to spread Indian culture and religion to other parts of the world. They also helped to promote economic growth and prosperity in the Deccan region.
