"trade increased between the Middle East and the West."

Explanation: The Crusades stimulated long-distance trade (luxury goods, spices, silk) and cultural exchange between Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean. The other choices are incorrect: the Mongols did not lose land to Byzantium, the Eastern and Western Churches remained divided, and while the Crusades affected political power in Europe, saying "the West gained more power" is too vague and not the primary direct result.
