d. freedom
please select the best answer from the choices provided
○ a
○ b
○ c
○ d

Explanation:

The Sahel kingdoms (like Ghana, Mali, Songhai) were known for their gold trade. Gold was a major commodity that generated wealth through trade (e.g., with North Africa, Europe). "Life" is too broad, "power" was derived from wealth/trade, and "freedom" is unrelated. So gold was the source of wealth.

Answer:

C. wealth
