Explanation:
There are no images attached however, based on the time period and the options, C should be the correct answer.
From 1450 to 1750, the world saw the emergence of Muslim empires like the Ottomans, Safavid and the Mughals. These empires occupied large areas of Eurasia amongst themselves and the only reason they were able to spread so fast was the use of gunpowder.
The Mughals especially were able to use gunpowder cannons and other technologies to devastating effect against the Indians and thus defeated them even with inferior numbers. These points all support option C.
It was based off the influence of the Western Powers. During this time, the US came to Japan, selling them modern day weaponary as well as introducing them to some of our culture. A dramitic representation of this era is depicted in the 2003 drama movie <em>The Last Samurai.</em>
