Which term denotes the transfer of goods and/or services among an interconnected system?

• A. Trade network
• B. Theme
• C. Tradition
• D. Trace

Answer: (A)

The transfer of goods and services among an interconnected system is described by a trade network. A trade network captures how producers, merchants, and consumers connect across regions, moving items and information along routes to where they’re needed. This emphasizes the pattern of exchange that links different places into a larger economic system, driven by specialization and demand. The other terms don’t fit: a theme is a subject or topic, tradition is a long-established practice, and a trace is a sign or piece of evidence, none of which describe the flowing movement of goods and services through connected places.
