Question

world historians associate the gold-salt trade most closely with which of the following trade routes?
hanseatic league network
trans-saharan routes
silk roads

Explanation:

The gold-salt trade centered on West African gold sources (like the Ghana Empire) and North African salt supplies, and this commerce was conducted primarily across the Sahara Desert by trans-Saharan traders. The other routes focused on different goods: the Hanseatic League handled European northern trade goods, the Silk Roads traded silk, spices, and manufactured goods between Eurasia, East Asian sea routes focused on East Asian regional trade, and the Indian Ocean network traded spices, textiles, and other goods across the Indian Ocean basin.

Answer:

Trans-Saharan routes
