The benefit of the Columbian Exchange among the options you provided is **New food in the Old World (Europe)**. The Columbian Exchange facilitated the transfer of various crops and food items, such as potatoes, tomatoes, maize (corn), and cacao (chocolate), from the Americas to Europe, which significantly enriched European diets and agricultural practices.
The other options mentioned, such as new diseases and native foods harming Europeans, highlight the detrimental aspects of the exchange rather than benefits. While new pets in the New World could be seen as a benefit, it is not as significant or impactful as the introduction of new food sources to Europe.
