The correct response is:

an increase in interest in Asian culture and Asian goods among Europeans.

Marco Polo's detailed accounts of his travels to Asia, particularly his descriptions of the wealth, culture, and trade practices in places like China, sparked European curiosity and demand for Asian goods such as spices, silk, and other luxury items. This ultimately contributed to the age of exploration and increased trade between Europe and Asia.
