Answer:
b. he wrote a book about his travels and time in China.
Step-by-step explanation:
Through his book "The Travels of Marco Polo," sometimes referred to as "Il Milione" or "The Description of the World," Marco Polo significantly increased interest in China. Marco Polo vividly documented his extensive journeys and experiences in China and other regions of Asia in this book, which he dictated to Rustichello da Pisa while detained in Genoa in the late 13th century.
"The Travels of Marco Polo" gave Europeans the first comprehensive and engrossing account of the remote nations of the East, especially China. Readers in Europe were captivated by his depictions of the great wealth, sophisticated technology, and opulent cities of the Chinese civilization.
The book became incredibly well-known and inspired a surge in curiosity about China, its people, and its resources. Many later explorers and adventurers were motivated by Marco Polo's accounts to travel to the enigmatic East because people were attracted by the intriguing tales of other regions.
Option b: Marco Polo played a significant role in exposing Chinese culture and customs to Europeans through his book, despite the fact that he did not discover a shortcut to the Silk Road (option a). No historical evidence suggests that he conducted travels into China every three years (option d) or that he gave lectures on Chinese culture and language in Europe (option c).
