Answer:
d. Unimpressed and uninfluenced by Europe.
Explanation:
Christopher Columbus was born in the mid-15th century AD. During that time, European kingdoms did not expand too far beyond the European borders, being still confined to the region around the Mediterranean and competing with other non-European powers, like the emerging Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire was a Turkish and Islamic empire that conquered Constantinople in 1453, the last remnant of the Byzantine empire. After the Ottomans cut off all connections that European markets had with the Silk Road and, therefore, with the spices and exotic products coming from Eastern markets, European powers like Spain and Portugal started searching for alternative routes in order to get to the East. Here is where Christopher Columbus showed up, offering the Spanish crown the chance to get to Asia by sailing West. In the midst of his expedition, Columbus and his men got to the Americas. This was the beginning of the cultural, economic, and political expansion of Europe throughout the world, which characterized the Modern era.

The correct answer is - B. The Mongolian conquest of Persia ended a golden age, which was a peak period of Islamic literature, philosophy, medicine, and art.
The Mongols conquered Persia and destroyed lot of cities, killed lot of people, and put end to the Islamic Caliphates, though it has to be said that the Mongols were actually provoked, and initially were not the ones that were seeking war.
By conquering the region, the Mongols put an end to the so called Islamic Golden Age, when the Islamic literature, philosophy, art, medicine, culture as a whole, was at its peak. Unfortunately, even after the Mongols left, the Muslim countries never got back to their glorious and forward thinking ways, and the reason for that is that some of the most influential Islamic scholars declared the math as a work of the devil, which pretty much cut all further development in the Middle Ages, and still has big negative effects in the present.
