Answer 1

The answer is B. I hope this helped :)

Answer 2

The correct answer is C, as the Ottomans had a far greater number of soldiers.

In fact, the Byzantine forces reached 10,000 soldiers, while the Ottoman army had an estimated number between 60,000 and 90,000 men. At first glance, there was a difference of at least 6 to 1 in favor of the Ottomans in battle.
