clear all

Explanation:

• For the option "Large amounts of silver were exported to Europe and the Americas by Ming China": Ming China mainly imported silver (due to its own silver - scarce economy and the high demand for Chinese goods in foreign markets), so this is incorrect.
• For the option "Ming trade expansion led to establishing colonial rulers in North and South America": Ming China had no colonial activities in the Americas, so this is wrong.
• For the option "Gold and enslaved people from West Africa were brought to China by Ming merchants": There was no such large - scale trade of West African gold and enslaved people to China by Ming merchants.
• For the option "The merchants of Ming China exported silks, porcelain, and other luxury goods": During the Ming Dynasty, China was well - known for exporting luxury goods like silk, porcelain, and tea to other parts of the world, which had a significant impact on global trade as these goods were in high demand in international markets.

Answer:

The merchants of Ming China exported silks, porcelain, and other luxury goods.
