Indicate which choice would best improve the underlined part of the sentence. If the sentence is ok as is, choose (A).

In ancient times, Nubia was the principal corridor where there were cultural influences transmitted between Black Africa and the Mediterranean basin.
  A. where there were cultural influences transmitted
  B. through which cultural influences were transmitted
  C. where there was a transmission of cultural influences
  D. for the transmitting of cultural influences
  E. which was transmitting cultural influences

A corridor is something that you go through, not to. The word “where” doesn’t work here. The only choice that corrects this is (B). The answer is (B).
