@neel116 We’re looking for something here that weakens the argument that there could have been trade between the two regions. B tells us that there are EA documents, but no Eu documents from that time. The absence of Eu documents could hurt OR help the argument, depending on which way you look at it: does the lack of evidence here support that there wasn’t trade, or that there possibly was? It’s difficult to tell for sure, so B isn’t quite what we’re looking for here.
E, on the other hand, tells us that given the records we have, we would actually expect there TO be documentation, so the lack of it here may actually serve as proof of no trade. This makes E a much better answer.
