The right answer is B. Kongo Kingdom.

NOTE: The Kongo Kingdom in central West Africa, one of the most powerful kingdoms that flourished between about 1400 and 1850, stretched from present-day Angola through Congo to Gabon, and used cowries as a medium of exchange for centuries.

Cowries were used as currency in trade routes stretching from Africa to South Asia and East Asia.
