B
They were crucial materials needed for creating other products.

They had many uses at home and could be traded for other goods.
D
They could not be stored for long periods of time, so they were very valuable.

Explanation

Papyrus was used to make items such as writing material, rope, and baskets, while cereal crops like wheat and barley provided food and could be stored or traded.
