The correct option is: **It made Spain strong enough to push outward from Europe after centuries of war.**
The Reconquista, which was the centuries-long process of reclaiming the Iberian Peninsula from Muslim rule, united Spain and strengthened its resources and military capabilities. This newfound strength and unity allowed Spain to undertake exploration and expansion beyond Europe, leading to significant discoveries in the Age of Exploration.
