B Correct answer
Explanation

The question asks for the correct preposition and structure to describe a corridor for transmission. 'Where' typically indicates location, but for a corridor or passage that things move through, 'through which' is more precise. 'Through which cultural influences were transmitted' correctly shows that influences passed FROM Black Africa TO the Mediterranean basin via Nubia. 'Where' options suggest static location rather than a passage between two points, and 'for the transmitting' is unnecessarily wordy and awkward.
