The answer should be D. To export is to send goods to another country. The Europeans were more focused on importing goods from Asia.

OpenStudy (defiance):

Oh, I thought C was import.

OpenStudy (defiance):

D is the answer I think.

Before the sea routes, Europeans traded with Asian countries by land. These cost too much and took too long. People thought sailing around the tip of Africa would be faster, and in a way, it worked.
