Explanation:

The Sahel region is a semi - arid zone in Africa. Cities in the Sahel were located along trans - Saharan trade routes. They were not seaports (as the Sahel is inland), not mainly agricultural societies in the city context, and the dominant religion in the region's historical trading cities was Islam rather than Christianity. So, these cities became major trading centers.

Answer:

C. major trading centers
