Answer:

B.Managed the exchange of goods for other goods in Egypt

Explanation:

     The Egyptian peoples traded across the Mediterranean, it seems, were the forerunners. The raw material for the construction of the boats came from Phenicia and the payment was based on the exchange of art and precious metals. Egypt also had trade relations with Arabia and India.

    The Greeks provided plants that would serve as one of the raw materials used in the mummification process. Through a trading post granted on the left bank of the Delta, the shops that existed there made exchanges, such as wine, olive oil, ceramics and some metallurgical products for the wheat that was missing in their cities of origin. Small internal trading operations were done by direct exchange, there were no coins, but circulating objects of copper and gold of stable weight.
