The correct answer is: **A. they each wanted control of the same region.**

The Ottoman Empire was predominantly Sunni, while the Safavid Empire was predominantly Shiite, and their territorial ambitions often brought them into conflict over regions such as modern-day Iraq and parts of Persia, where both empires sought to exert their influence.
