I disagree with this answer.

There have been many influential men named Suleiman in history but I assume that it refers to the tenth Sultan of the Ottoman empire, Suleiman I, who ruled from 1520 to 1566.

From Wikipedia:

`Around 1300 AD, a group of Turkmen tribes under Suleiman and Ertugrul moved westward. Under Osman I, they founded the Ottoman Empire in northwestern Anatolia; in 1326, the Ottomans conquered Bursa, which became the first capital of the Ottoman state. By the late 15th century, the Ottoman state had become a major power. In 1517, the Egyptian Sultanate of the Mamluks was overthrown in the Ottoman–Mamluk war.`

`Suleiman the Magnificent, the tenth Sultan (1520-1566), invaded Persia and forced the Persian Shah Tahmasp (1524–1576) to move his capital from Tabriz to Qazvin, until the Peace of Amasya was agreed upon in 1555.`

`As the political and economical influence grew of the Ottoman Empire, Istanbul became a meeting point of diplomats, merchants and artists. During Suleiman I.'s reign, artists and artisans of different specialities worked together in court manufactures (Ehl-i Hiref). Calligraphy and miniature painting were performed in the calligraphy workshops, or nakkaşhane, and influenced carpet weaving. Besides Istanbul, Bursa, Iznik, Kütahya and Ushak were homes to manufactories of different specializations. Bursa became known for its silk cloths and brocades, Iznik and Kütahya were famous for ceramics and tiles, Uşak, Gördes, and Ladik for their carpets. The Ushak region, one of the centers of Ottoman "court" production, produced some of the finest carpets of the sixteenth century. Holbein and Lotto carpets were woven here. Gold-brocaded silk velvet carpets known as Çatma are associated with the old Ottoman capital of Bursa, in Western Anatolia near the Sea of Marmara.`

Answer 8

Furthermore, from another source which covers the Ottoman empire from 1700s to 1900. Although it's not the same time period, this should help you eliminate some answer choices if you haven't already found the correct answer by reading what I quoted above.

"The Ottomans exported luxury goods like silk, furs, tobacco and spices, and had a growing trade in cotton."
"Cotton cloth and cotton yarn from British mills made up more than half of total imports, followed by food products like sugar, coffee and rice."

Remember-
Exports is what they produce and have so they sell it.
Imports is what they need and don't have so they buy it.
