Explanation:
The period between 1340 and 1450 was the period when the plague devastated the European population. All European regions had big losses in population because of this disease, but Western Europe had it the worst. more then a third of the population of Western Europe died during this period, while in Eastern Europe for comparison, it was around one quarter of the population, which was still a lot. The total population of the continent decreased for 31.97%. This had very big negative impact on the economies and military power of the European countries, but also triggered a lot of social changes in the European societies.

Explanation:
This question is tough to answer, since perceptions of Manifest Destiny changed radically across the 19th century.
But many American citizens, politicians, and thinkers genuinely believed in the tenets of Manifest Destiny, so it's not fair to say that these Americans were simply manufacturing a false excuse for westward expansion. So we can exclude C.
It's also true that many other Americans (especially Southern Democrats) used the idea of Manifest Destiny to justify invading Mexico in the 1840s. Bu these Southerners were more interested in adding new slaveholding states to the Union than they were with fending off a potential enemy in Mexico (which was a vastly weaker military power).
And while much of America throughout the 19th century was indeed Protestant, and that most of the residents of Mexican territories were Catholic, Manifest Destiny was less interested in dismantling Catholic influence than it was in advancing its own expansionist, Protestant interests.
You'll want to double-check with your textbook to be sure about the context of this question, but the best answer from this angle seems to be B, since those Americans who did believe in Manifest Destiny certainly believed that westward advancement was not only obvious but sanctioned by God.
