Which selection below did not create lead to the Age of Exploration by European

explorers?

Curiosity in the wider world which developed during the Renaissance created an
intellectual motivation for exploration.

Devices such as the astrolabe and the compass from the East allowedEuropeans to navigate further from shore than they had before the Age of Exploration

New ship design developed by the Portuguese in the late 15th century allowed longer oceanic voyages.

A change of wind patterns and oceanic currents brought on by climate change allowed European ships to travel westward faster than ever before. This led to explorers, like Columbus, to figure they could survive a long sea voyage to the
East, now that their ships could travel at greater speeds.

The need for renewed trade with the East by sea became a motivating factor for Europeans to risk longer oceanic voyages, which also resulted in the discoveries of new peoples and places (such as the Americas).
