The correct answer is A) people had nothing to trade because only the emperor owned property.

Trade wasn't an important part of the economy of the Inca because people had nothing to trade because only the emperor owned property.

The Inca were one of the most important civilizations in South America in Prehispanic times. They settled in the mountains called "Anders" in Peru and built the impressive city of Macchu Pichu. People lived in modest houses made of stone and as they lived in the mountains, they worked as farmers to make a living building "terraces," portions of flat land where they could grow crops.
