Answer 1

The most accurate evidence supporting the claim that trade changed after the fall of Constantinople is:

Europeans found alternate trade routes to bypass the Muslims.

After the fall of Constantinople in 1453, which was a significant center of trade and culture, European nations sought new trade routes to access goods from Asia without relying on Middle Eastern intermediaries, which subsequently led to the Age of Discovery and the exploration of new lands.
