The correct answer is B, Joseph Mcarthy.
The correct answer is export taxes
Religious practices and discriminatory practices are not within the domain of commerce power, which is the same for gubernatorial elections. Export taxes are within the domain of commerce power.
The immediate consequence of the Reconquista was the conquest of all remaining Muslim political polities and their entailing territories by Spanish Roman Catholic monarchs, Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile. Subsequently, Spain became increasingly potent as a dominant world military, naval and colonial power.
Muslims had been living on the Iberian Peninsula since 711 A.D. and interactions between the major religions of Christianity, Judaism and Islam, while sometimes violent and intolerant, had also been both culturally and intellectually productive. But by the 15th century, much of the peninsula had been re-conquered by Catholic forces, leaving the relatively weak and often fractured Nasrid state of Grenada as the only remaining Muslim polity. By 1492, that too had been vanquished, leaving Isabella and Ferdinand with virtually unquestioned dominion.
While the events of 1492 eventually helped to further unite Spain under a single ethno-religious identity, it also meant disaster for members of those minority religions previously protected under Muslim rule and then, to varying degrees, under Christian rule as well. Most importantly, 1492 marked the dramatic expulsion of all remaining Spanish Jews, the Sephardim, who were robbed of most their property and given the choice of either leaving or death.
With the religious zeal fostered by the Reconquista, Spain's monarchy zealously embarked on continued exploration and colonization projects, beginning with the Columbus expedition financed in 1492. Subsequent territorial acquisitions captured most of South and Central America for Spain, along with their raw materials and precious metals. The latter, in particular, ultimately made early modern Spain wealthy.
Ottoman--The Ottoman Empire located in current day Turkey, Iraq, and into Bulgaria and Romania were able to preserve the classical relics of Europe.
The Ottoman Empire stretched through eastern and southern Europe, northern Africa, and the Middle East to about current day Iraq. They save the classical relics of the Roman, Greek, and Byzantine Empires. This information was protected and with Europeans began regular trading with the Ottoman Empire in the 15th century, the information was reintroduced helping to bring Europe out of the "dark ages".
