Explanation:

Trans-Saharan trade linked West Africa to North Africa and broader global networks, increasing its global connections (A). The wealth from trade (like gold and salt) allowed powerful new kingdoms such as Ghana, Mali, and Songhai to emerge in West Africa (B). Additionally, contact with Muslim scholars via the trade routes led to the first written records of West African societies using Arabic script (C). All these are outcomes of the trade.
