The correct answer is - D. Phoenician sailors traded with other cities in the Mediterranean.

The Phoenicians were people that had advanced civilization. and they were people that loved to sail, in fact that is their trademark, the sailing and trading. Unlike most of the other civilizations that were based on the mainland, the Phoenicians were spending more time on their ships, they traded all over the Mediterranean with multiple other civilizations, and made multiple colonies on the coasts of the Mediterranean as well. Because they were more advanced than the people that they were in constant contact with, they managed to spread out their culture in a peaceful manner, and the people from the Mediterranean region were very fond of accepting it.
