Explanation:

The term 'Indian Ocean world' in the passage refers to the interconnected maritime realm of the global south, encompassing East Africa, the Arab coasts, and South and East Asia. These regions maintained enduring connections facilitated by sea voyages across the Indian Ocean. The passage contends that the global south served as the initial hub of globalization ('Historical and archaeological evidence suggests that the origins of globalization can be traced to the Indian Ocean') and emphasizes that early international trade and commerce were not exclusively dominated by white Europeans ('Those [commonly found ones] are mostly centered in Europe or the US, assume a background of Christianity and whiteness, and mention places like Paris and New York. The novels in [my] book highlight instead a largely Islamic space..'). Thus, options (a), (c), and (d) contribute to the "remapping" discussed by the passage.

Hence, option (b).
