Correct answer:  

<h2>C. The Scientific Revolution</h2>

Explanation:

The "modern era" in history was introduced by the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment, so from around 1500 to early 1800s.  The "early modern era" would be the beginning of the modern era, with thinkers like Francis Bacon and Rene Descartes sending intellectual history in a new direction.  The modern era was a movement forward to scientific thinking and searching for reasonable explanations and solutions, in contrast to the medieval era's adherence to traditions, superstitions and religious beliefs.

The invention of gunpowder happened in China already around AD 850, long before the start of the modern era.

The exploration of outer space and the creation of the Internet occurred in the 20th century, about 500 years after the modern era had begun.

Samurai and knights: were the similarities greater than the differences? answers
irina1246 [14]
The differences were far greater. For starters, they had different beliefs, and not only religious beliefs but about life in general. They also used different weaponry and went through different types of training. Knights would also have land and control it while pledging allegiance to the King, while Samurai were not as powerful as nights were and were more just soldiers. They also came from different social backgrounds. If a knight's king would die they would just pledge their allegiance to the new king, while Samurai's lord's death would mean more or less the end of a samurai's job.
