Answer:

The correct answer is: The army sacked Constantinople.

Step-by-step explanation:

The main goal of the Fourth Crusade (1202-1204) was to conquer Jerusalem which was controlled by Muslims, through the invasion of Egypt. Instead of conquering Jerusalem, the Crusaders invaded and sacked the city of Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire.

The crusaders established the Latin empire in the Byzantine lands they conquered.
