The last one...."One that is accepted by its people and other governments as the sovereign authority of a nation."
It all depends on the definition of the term Modern Era. The word modern comes from Latin word modo, which means right now or just now. It was used for the first time during the Renaissance in Italy to bring attention to the great rediscoveries of sciences, the arts, history and politics of Classical antiquity and the subsequent discoveries and progresses accomplished like the Age of Discovery.
If such definition is used as the basis for this question then the answer is definitely C.The establishment of global empires.
Indeed, since during the previous periods, Empires were limited to their immediate geographic areas. There had been some attempts to explore areas that were located much farther like the Vikings and their travels to Greenland and North America.
However, it was the Europeans: and to some lesser extent the Chinese, that actually discovered (in the literal sense of removing the cover) the Americas for the entirety of the world. The discovery paved the way for the emergence of Global Empires that were completely unprecedented in the history of humanity since they spanned several continents. For instance, the Global Spanish Empire Under Philip II of Spain in the 16th Century that spanned the continents of Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia.

Correct Answer: Vladimir the Great
Vladimir the Great was the Grand Prince of Kiev from 980 until the day he died in 1015. Although he was not the first to introduce Christianity into the Kievan Rus region (today Ukraine and Russia), he was the one who cemented it as the majoritarian religion in the area after his baptism in 988, ordering the end of paganism in the area (not without certain opposition). He unified most of this region unider his mandate.
As for the reason he chose Orthodox Christianity, it is somewhat shrouded in legend. The popular tale says that he sent emissaries to learn about the religions of neighboring. When they came back, he didn't like what he heard about the restrictions Islam and Judaism imposed, and he didn't find anything interesting in what was said of Westen Christianity. Instead, he was marveled by his emissaries tales of the Orthodox temples, as they said "they didn't know whether they were in heaven or Earth". As for the more historically accurate version, it is said that he converted in part as part of a military pact.
Answer:
1. It Created Ethnic Diversity
2. It Facilitated Industry
3. It inspired Conflict
4. It Built America
Explanation:
1. 1870s and 1880s immigration was northern European, Ireland, England and Germany. Then came eastern and southern Europeans in Scandinavians, and Asians. Neighborhoods in places like NYC were dedicated to their own ethic groups, an example is "Little Italy".
2. This helped create a lot of simplified tasks for unskilled workers instead of skilled worker who were payed much more. 2/3rds of workers in Chicago were then Immigrants. This made some groups go into specific industries. For example, Jews went into the Garment Industry most of the time.
3. Society was conflicted on the arrival of Immigrants at the time. Low wages and unemployment was blamed on Immigrants, as well as the cause of poverty and crime. Laws were passed like the 1882 Chinese Exclusion act, and the 1894 Immigration Restriction League.
4. Closer to 50% of Immigrants actually only came to the US for economic reasons and went here to gain easy money and they went back to their home country. Around 30-50% of Italian immigrants actually went back to Italy after only 5 years. Many still became part of American society, and now millions of people can trace back their roots to Immigrant Groups.
