Correct answer: by Balkan calls for independence, which contributed to instability in the region.
Explanation: The Ottoman Empire’s long decline left a power vacuum in the Balkans and spurred nationalist movements and the Balkan Wars (1912–13). That regional instability increased tensions among Great Powers (Serbia/Russia vs. Austria-Hungary) and helped create the crisis that led to World War I. The other choices are historically inaccurate.
