The correct response is: Their textile industry depended on English wool.
The Flemish, particularly in cities like Ghent and Bruges, relied heavily on the import of English wool for their thriving textile industry. Supporting Edward III's claim to the French throne aligned with their economic interests, especially given the ongoing tensions and conflicts between England and France.
