trade increased between the Middle East and the West

Explanation: The Crusades opened up long‑distance contacts that boosted demand for Eastern goods (spices, silk, etc.), expanded trade routes, and helped Italian port cities grow. They did not reunite the Eastern and Western Churches (the schism worsened), and the other options are historically incorrect.
