The correct response is: It prevented European traders from reaching India and Asia.
The military success and expansion of the Ottoman Empire in the 15th and 16th centuries, particularly after the conquest of Constantinople in 1453, significantly impacted trade routes to Asia. This prompted European nations to seek new maritime paths to reach India and Asia, which ultimately contributed to the Age of Exploration and the eventual discovery of new sea routes.
