The correct answer is A.

Great Simbabwe was the capital of the Kingdom of Zimbabwe during the country’s Late Iron Age.

The suffered decline in gold trade compared to sites further north lead to the city's ruin and ultimate abandonment.

The correct answer is a. A shift in the gold trade

Not only was there a shift in the gold trade, but gold also lost a lot of its previous value thanks to unforeseen circumstances.
