The correct response is **the weakness of the Ottoman navy**. The Battle of Lepanto in 1571 was a significant naval engagement in which the Holy League, a coalition of Catholic maritime states, defeated the Ottoman Empire's navy. Key factors contributing to this outcome included the weaker state of the Ottoman navy compared to its European adversaries, along with effective tactics and cohesion among the Holy League forces.
