Answer: I would contend that the right answer is the A. Spanish royal council meeting notes concerning strategies for defeating Muslims.
Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that, on the one hand, it is said that "European leaders concluded that [...]," and, on the other hand, it is said that "Visionary Europeans hoped to weaken their enemy [...]" Although Sub-Saharan African ivory carvings depicting Muslim merchant caravans and a blueprint of a fast sailing vessel would support the first and second part of the argument, respectively, I believe that the first primary source would most likely support the totality of the argument, since it reflects the opinion of important European leaders—members of the Spanish royal council—concerning strategies for defeating the Muslims, and surely their increasing power, therefore supporting both parts or sections of the argument.

1. In replacing "grumbled about" with "deplored", they imply the same attitude but with much more strong opposition. While mere grumbling may suggest complaints and disinterest, 'deplored' gives a sense of strongly disapproving of the plan.
2. The word "stylish" can be replaced by "ornate" as they both imply the same decorative sense of the ceiling. But at the same time, "ornate" gives the sense of a more beautiful, better-decorated piece than the simple word "stylish".
3. The word "big" in describing the spenders is plain and can just describe any shopper who spends a lot. But the use of "prodigal" in describing the spenders gives the sense of unnecessary spending. This word gives more voice to the disapproving tone about such spenders.
