Answer:

C. Although the Crusaders captured the Holy Land, they were unable to create democratic reform.

Step-by-step explanation:

Crusaders were nothing but a name given to a series of religious conflicts that was sanctioned by the Latin Church in the medieval period. Amongst them the best known are the campaigns in the Eastern Mediterranean. The purpose of which was to recover the Holy Land from the Muslim rule. And this as one of the biggest reason why Crusaders are considered as a successful failure. They were successful because they brought in many desirable changes. But they are also considered as a failure as they failed to achieve their original goal.
