Answer 1

The answer is D European countries began finding trade routes to Asia that avoided Ottoman territory.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the constantinople finally fell to the ottoman empire, the most important trade route that connected Europe to Asia fell under the ottomans and for many years, this land trade route brought an enormous wealth to the empire land.
