Answer:

b) the desire to conquer India and China

Step-by-step explanation:

In the 100 years from the mid-fifteenth to the mid-sixteenth century, a blend of conditions invigorated men to look for new courses, and it was new courses instead of new terrains that filled the psyches of rulers and everyday people, researchers and sailors.

To start with, close to the finish of the fourteenth century, the huge realm of the Mongols was separating; subsequently, Western dealers could never again be guaranteed of safe-lead along the land courses. Second, the Ottoman Turks and the Venetians controlled business access to the Mediterranean and the antiquated ocean courses from the East. Third, new countries on the Atlantic shores of Europe were currently prepared to look for abroad trade and adventure.
