Answer:

d. helped spread Christianity to the East.

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

a. monopolized the spice trade.

c. made ties with local rulers.

b. opened trade with China.

d. helped spread Christianity to the East.

Out of these options, the only action that cannot be linked to the Dutch East India Company is that of spreading Christianity to the East. The Dutch East India Company was a corporation that dominated trade in the East during the 17th century. The company was responsible for making ties with the Mughal government, as well as other Southeast Asian governments, in order to control trade in the area. Its trade consisted mainly of spices (with a 21-year monopoly), silks, ships, coffee, sugarcane and wine.
