Assuming you are looking for a single answer, the best answer is:

They needed to find an alternative to the silk road due to the rise of the Ottoman Empire.

The Ottoman Turks were involved in trade and merchant traffic themselves, and they often charged high rates for travel through the territories they now controlled.  Also, as religious and cultural opposites, European Christian culture and Islamic culture often came into conflict. So finding an alternate route was appealing to Europeans who sponsored exploration by sea.

Curiosity was also a factor, but they were not so much about "seeking out new live and new civilizations."  If anything, they wanted to find further possibilities for extending their own civilization and profiting from trade with others.

To "boldly go where no one has gone before" is the theme for exploring the universe set forth in the <em>Star Trek </em>television and film series.

Answer:

The answer is:

A.They did not have the most advanced military equipment.

C.There was a lack of unity among members of various groups.

E.They were weakened by trade restrictions and blockades

The difference in military equipment made the colonized country unable to defend themselves in the face of Europeans threat.

When this happened, some people decided to surrender to the European while some decided to fight, which divided the unity among them. Not only that, if the majority of people refused to follow the colony, they would be given restrictions and blockades which hurt their economy.
