Hi Henry,
I have no idea about your first question. If your answer is in your book, it must be right.
The key words in the second question are early cultures. Since European traders came long after the first cultures developed, c. cannot be right. That would also eliminate d.
Isolated pockets of ethnic development don't usually lead to the development of cultures throughout a region.
A map of southeast Asia suggests the best answer in my opinion. For instance, the Vietnamese people originally came from China and the Pacific islands.

It is? I would have said maritime trade.
To estimate the percentage of Southeast Asian countries that are islands, you can follow these steps:
1. Identify the countries considered part of Southeast Asia. The common definition includes 11 countries: Brunei, Cambodia, East Timor, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar (Burma), Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.
2. Determine which of these countries are located entirely or partially on islands. The countries known for having significant island territories are Indonesia (composed of thousands of islands), Malaysia (contains both mainland and island regions), and the Philippines (archipelago of islands).
Based on these steps, the correct answer is A) 50%. Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines, which account for a considerable portion of Southeast Asia, are predominantly composed of islands.
For the question about the early cultures' development in Southeast Asia, the correct answer is A) extensive maritime trade. Southeast Asia has a long history of trade, with its location between major trading regions such as India, China, and the Middle East. The interactions and exchange of goods through maritime routes played a crucial role in shaping the cultural and economic development of the region. Option C) contact with European traders is also relevant to later periods, but the initial development stemmed from the region's own maritime trade networks.
