Which of the following towns was important to the trans-Saharan traders?

Kano was an important town to the trans-Saharan traders. This is because Kano was located along one of the major trans-Saharan trade routes that connected West Africa with North Africa and the Mediterranean world. Traders would bring goods such as gold, ivory, kola nuts, and slaves from the forests of West Africa to Kano, where they would be exchanged for salt, textiles, and other goods from North Africa and the Mediterranean. Kano became a center of trade, attracting merchants from all over West Africa and beyond, and grew into a prosperous and cosmopolitan city.
