The correct answer is Venetian merchants.

These Venetian merchants helped Europeans with the spice trade that took place during the 14th and 15th centuries. This lucrative spice trade allowed Europeans to gain access to important spices from other countries. Different types of spices included cinnamon, ginger, pepper, and turmeric.
