Based on the given information, it can be said that specialization in a particular product encourages trade between countries.

Option: (C)

Explanation:

It is clear from the information given that neither all countries in Africa bear a specialization in mined products nor all bear specialization in agricultural products. This tends the African nations to seek from each other the products that they do not bear a specialization in which instigates the operations of trade between the nations that prove beneficial to all the nations involved in the trade.
