    D

    Explanation:

    A is incorrect because that's not how cities become rich.

    B is incorrect because there was no Mesoamerican Gold-Silk trade. (They didn't have silk!)

    C is incorrect because it's just flat-out false.

    D is correct because the Aztec Empire was made mostly of tributary villages (conquered peoples) that they collected wealth (tribute) from.
