D.

Answer 1

Based on historical understanding of the Bubonic Plague, also known as the Black Death, the statement that is true is:

B. It spread from the Mediterranean to the north of Europe.

This is supported by historical records that indicate the plague originated in Asia, then moved westward through trade routes, particularly affecting areas around the Mediterranean before spreading to northern Europe. The other options do not accurately represent the spread of the plague.
