Answer:

C) They each had one of the commodities but not the other, so they needed their trading partner to provide it

Explanation:

The main reason why the Arab nations along the Mediterranean Sea and the tribal nations of Sub-Saharan Africa were dependent on each other for the commodities of gold and salt is that "They each had one of the commodities but not the other, so they needed their trading partner to provide it."

The Arab nations along the Mediterranean Sea could easily mine salt, but not the gold. Yet they want good as a means of treasure and luxury. While sub-Saharan Africa needed salts for many reasons including food preservations, and to give food tastes. Hence, the two regions needed trading partners to provide it.
