Explanation:

First Question (about Islamic advances in trigonometry for prayer direction)

Muslims face Mecca (specifically the Kaaba in Mecca) during prayer. Islamic trigonometric advances helped determine the qibla (prayer direction) towards Mecca. Other options like Medina, Baghdad, Rome, or Damascus are not the direction for Islamic prayer.

Chinese porcelain was highly valued and traded globally, and the term "china" (porcelain) comes from this. Poetry, cotton, or paper don't have the same association with the name "China" in trade/naming context.

Answer:

C. Mecca
