Answer:

The correct answer is D) to get spices, gold, silk, and jewels

Explanation:

The Europeans in the 1400s were looking for new sea routes to East Asia. After the establishment of the Ottoman Empire, it became difficult for Europeans to trade with Asia, especially since the Turks charged large fees.

The Turks started to control the lucrative trade between Asia and Europe and made a lot of money.

This had a strong impact on European economies.

As an alternative, the sea explorers were looking to reach East Asia to find goods which were in high demand in Europe such as Silk, Spices, Porcelain, etc.
