Solution

The correct option is C Ottomans
There was a huge incentive for people who wished to be in the trading and commerce business during colonial times. Colonialism in Asia was caused in part by the fact that the Europeans did not have a free trade route to Asia as the Ottomans were blocking it. When the Ottomans blocked the land routes to the east, many Europeans tried to explore a sea route to India and China.
