Answer:

A. An ancestral curse that complicates the lives of modern-day  characters

Explanation:

Gothic literature is a literary genre that fuses elements of horror, fiction, terror, death, curse and romance.

English author Horace Walpole is credited as the originator of Gothic fiction through his novel The Castle of Otranto.

One of the key element of Gothic fiction is sublime or the ability to go beyond ourselves.

The story combines mystery, curses, revenge and murders as its major themes.

Gothic literature is a new kind of literature that can be seen as an extension of Romantic fictions. It develops from the romantic idea towards a more mysterious and dark romance often thriller. Gothic fiction also grows from mythical stories as well as folk tales.

Art [367]

Answer: I would contend that the right answer is the A. Spanish royal council meeting notes concerning strategies for defeating Muslims.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that, on the one hand, it is said that "European leaders concluded that [...]," and, on the other hand, it is said that "Visionary Europeans hoped to weaken their enemy [...]" Although Sub-Saharan African ivory carvings depicting Muslim merchant caravans and a blueprint of a fast sailing vessel would support the first and second part of the argument, respectively, I believe that the first primary source would most likely support the totality of the argument, since it reflects the opinion of important European leaders—members of the Spanish royal council—concerning strategies for defeating the Muslims, and surely their increasing power, therefore supporting both parts or sections of the argument. Option B does not apply here, since the excerpt is talking about trade in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia.
