Solution
The correct option is D Constantinople
In 1453 CE, the Ottoman Turks invaded Constantinople, looted it, and made it their capital city and took over the trade. When Constantinople fell, Europe lost its major port. The scholars from Constantinople and other places took abode in Italy. They were patronised and sheltered by the kings and popes. This eventually became the reason for Italy to emerge as the Land of the Renaissance.
