Answer 1

Hint: The eighth century B.C. The initial day of the eighth century BC was 800 BC, and the last day of the eighth century BC was 701 BC. For several historically major civilizations, the eighth century BC represented a time of enormous transition.

Complete answer:
Some traders lived in the town from the 8th century forward, while others travelled from town to town. Many people travelled from far and wide to these towns to buy and trade local goods, such as horses, salt, camphor, saffron, betel nut, and spices like pepper.

Camphor is a powder that originated from the camphor tree's bark and wood. The majority of camphor today is synthetic. It's found in a variety of skin-care products, including FDA-approved therapies. It's a common element in skin-based cough and skin-irritation therapies.

The areca palm is a feathery palm that grows to a height of 1.5 metres in tropical India, Bangladesh, Japan, Sri Lanka, south China, the East Indies, the Philippines, and portions of Africa. The tropical palm palms provide fruit throughout the year. Fresh, dried, or cured by boiling, baking, or roasting the nut are all options. The quid is made up of a blend of areca nut, tobacco, and lime wrapped in betel vine leaf.

Horses, Camphor and Betel nut were product/products of distinct places from the towns in the subcontinent from the 8th century onwards .

Therefore the correct option is option ‘D’.
