Explanation:

Question 18

The Black Death spread to Europe in the 1340s via trade routes, including those with Asia (like the Silk Road), where infected rats on trading ships/along caravans transmitted the plague. So the statement is true.

• Option a: Persians didn't invade India to spread Islam prominently.
• Option b: Trade along the Silk Road facilitated cultural diffusion, including the spread of Islam to India through merchants, travelers, etc.
• Option c: Military alliances between African and East Asian countries aren't related to Islam's spread in India.
• Option d: The Mughal Empire helped spread Islam in India, but its fall wouldn't be the cause of Islam becoming prominent (it was during its rise). So the correct option is b.

In ancient economies, labor - intensive activities (farming, construction, etc.) relied on human labor. Slavery provided a large, forced labor force to support these economies, making slavery widespread. So the statement is true.

True
