Yanıt Açıklaması:

This was a period of organized trade that is called the Age of Assyrian Trade Colonies. Trading, which had previously taken place in an unsystematic manner, was made systematic through the formation of independent trading colonies, established in Anatolia, known as karum, trading posts that flourished from
the 20th to the 18the centuries BCE.

An Assyrian governor administered about 10 karums or trading posts in Anatolia, residing in Kanesh which was the leading karum and located near the modern Kayseri.

The correct answer is D.
