Answer:

The correct answer is<em><u> B) It was an unintended consequence of contact between the New World and the Old World.</u></em>

Explanation:

It is widely agreed that viral diseases such as smallpox from the Old world had a fatal impact on Native populations. However, it was never a deliberate act on part of Columbus or his crew. In fact, they would have had no knowledge of how these diseases could kill so many people.

He purely describes it as an 'untended consequences of two worlds meeting for the first time and nature taking its course.

By some estimates, more than a million people died from diseases both in South and North America. Historically, this greatly helped the Spanish build their Empire in the region but, again, this was not done on purpose.

Kisachek [45]
The kings in the late 13th and mid-14th centuries could control the congregation more than the congregation could control the rules on the grounds that the pope quit undermining rulers and rulers in view of what Boniface did. Subsequently, the state got more power. Rulers set aside this opportunity to assault the congregation. 
Rulers assaulted the congregation hard. Enactment confined the ecclesiastical's ideal for purview. They likewise confined charges for the congregation. What's more, they confined installments and petitions to Rome and additionally the Pope's energy to make high arrangements for the pastorate.
