The correct answer is C. Between one-third and one-half of Europe's population died because of the Black Death.
Explanation:
The Black Death was a pandemic of plague that ravaged Europe during the fourteenth century, that was transmitted by a flea transported by rats. It is believed that the epidemic emerged in Central Asia, from where it passed to Italian cities with great maritime activity such as Genoa, and from there to all of Europe. The Black Death ended with more than a third of the European population and with 45 to 60 million people worldwide. Current estimates put the total death toll of the pandemic in Africa, Asia and Europe at around 100 million, more than 20% of the world's population at that time.
