Correct answer: the development of better ships and improved navigation.
Why: The Crusades increased contact between Europe and the Islamic world, boosting trade and the exchange of geographic knowledge, maps, and navigational techniques. That helped spur improvements in ship design and navigation that made long-distance sea exploration possible. The other choices are incorrect or unrelated (Viking destruction is unrelated; competition with Muslims was over trade/routes and holy sites, not mutual “discovering new lands”; land colonization as the primary motive is also not a direct Crusades outcome).
