The most accurate reason among the options provided is:
**The Mongol Empire eliminated the ability of smaller kingdoms to control the Silk Roads.**
In the 13th century, the establishment of the Mongol Empire under Genghis Khan and subsequent khans led to a period of relative stability and security along the Silk Roads, known as the Pax Mongolica. This allowed for increased trade and cultural exchange between Europe and Asia, as the Mongols unified vast territories and facilitated trade routes across their empire. While there were periods of disruption, the Mongol control effectively reduced the power of smaller kingdoms to interfere with trade along the Silk Roads, making it safer and more efficient for merchants.
