What did Minoans produce for export in their dry, rocky environment?

Answer
A
figs, cheese, and nuts
B
grain, wood, and copper
C
olives, grapes, and sheep
D
purple dye, glass, and papyrus

Explanation

Crete’s dry, rocky land was better suited to growing olive trees and grapevines and raising sheep than to producing large grain harvests. Minoans made goods such as olive oil, wine, and wool from these resources for trade, so “olives, grapes, and sheep” is the best answer.
