What painting? You didn't add any picture to the question...
I believe it's A.
The Muslims did control Jerusalem for a time, and I believe that they forced the Christians out of it.
Also the Crusaders did sack Constantinople when they were not allowed in by the government there.
I don't know what D is but I'll assume that it is true because I think A is false.
The government wasn't able to control what the states did, because they had too much autonomy. So...the answer would be A!
Answer:
Beetles began devouring Sugar Cane field in Queensland, Australia in 1930, so Farmers got desperate.Tales quickly spread of a toad that loved nothing more than to dine on cane beetles.The thinking went that a few hundred cane toads which can grow as large as dinner plates and weigh up to 4.5 pounds (2 kilograms) would gobble up all the cane beetles so that farmers could get back to farming.
In 1935, two suitcases of South American cane toads made the journey from Puerto Rico where a similar scheme was successful to Hawaii and then on to Australia. Rather than hang out in the cane fields though, those original 102 toads set out across the continent and have mushroomed in number to more than 1.5 billion.
Today, toads have conquered more than 386,000 square miles (1 million square kilometers) of Australia.
Hope this helps :)
