Answer 1

The correct choice is:

- The Portuguese maritime empire continued the Columbian Exchange, expanded global trade, expanded Christianity’s influence, and led to the suppression of local customs and beliefs.

Brief justification: Portuguese control of key ports and sea lanes integrated Indian Ocean trade into a global system, spread crops, goods and people, promoted missionary activity (e.g., Goa, Malacca), and imposed trade monopolies, Christianization, and sometimes harsh measures that suppressed local practices.
