Answer:

D. The Byzantine Empire recovered from the 1204 attack.

Step-by-step explanation:

During the attack in 1204, part of Constantinople's capital city was destroyed by the Ottoman. But in the end, the Byzantine empire still managed to drive the ottoman out of important territories. That being said, Byzantine Empire still lost quite a few of their outer territories to the Ottoman.

The attack in 1453 on the other hand occurred after the Byzantine empire experienced the black plague that killed large portion of their population. This made their military became really week. In the end, the attack in 1453 marked the fall of Byzantine empire.
