Which prompted european exploration during the age of discovery?
a. muslim invasion of spain
b. the promise of trade with asia
c. the "mad scramble" for africa
d. search for a land route to china

I believe the answer is: B. the promise of trade with Asia

Trading with countries in asian continent would provide the european empire with cheaper source of resources so they can obtain a high margin on the goods that they sold. It also increase the number of consumers in their target market since they can sell european made products to Asia.

I took the test and I can confirm that the answer is B. the promise of trade with Asia

Jared is correct because if you substitute a random number in for x 2 for example

2+10=12

2-10 doesn’t =12
