The benefit of the Columbian Exchange from the options you provided is:
**New food in the Old World (Europe)**

The other options listed do not represent benefits in the same way:
- New pets in the New World may be considered neutral rather than a clear benefit.
- New diseases in the New World were harmful and devastating to Indigenous populations.
- Native American food poisoning Europeans is not a benefit and doesn't accurately reflect the interaction during the exchange.
