Answer 1

The correct answer is D) Improved diet in the Americas and Europe.

The Columbian Exchange consisted of the trade between the "Old World" and "New World" during the 16th century. This trade saw new resources brought from Europe to the North American continent (and vice versa). This resulted in improved diets for both parts of the world, as Europe received important crops like potatoes while North America received things like cattle and livestock.
