The correct option is D. The Mediterranean Sea allowed Romans to trade with other countries.

The Mediterranean Sea was vital for merchants and travelers of ancient times because it allowed for easy trade and exchange of cultures and their beliefs.

The Romans imported a wide range of materials: beef, corn, glassware, iron, lead, leather, marble, olive oil, perfumes, purple dye, silk, silver, spices, timber, tin and wine. The principal trading partners were in Spain, France, the Middle East and North Africa. Britain exported lead, woollen products and tin.
