The correct response is:
competition between Europeans and Muslims to discover new lands
The Crusades heightened competition and conflict between Europeans and Muslims, leading to a desire among Europeans to explore and expand their own territories, ultimately influencing the Age of Exploration. The other options, while related to exploration in general, do not directly stem from the Crusades in the same way.
