Answer 2

Answer:

C. The Minoans made their surplus of goods through trade.

Explanation:

Not a lot of things could be farmed there due to the dry, rocky land (only olives, grapes, and sheep).  They traded these things for figs, cheese, flax for cloth, timber, animal hide.  Because of their location on the sea, they were very effective at trading with other cultures and became an economic center.
