Answer:
The correct answer is D. The Columbian Exchange resulted in population booms in parts of Europe and Asia due to the introduction of new staple subsistence crops from the Americas.
Explanation:
The Columbian Exchange was a process that began after 1492, when the Spanish exploring forces under the command of Cristobal Colon discovered and began to colonize the American continent. Through this process, an exchange of resources began to take place between the New World and the Old World, mainly in terms of plants, animals and diseases, which differentially affected each of the human groups that made up both worlds.
Thus, while in Europe and Asia new foods such as corn, tomatoes and potatoes became essential for the subsistence of its inhabitants, in America diseases such as smallpox caused demographic damage. This had a different impact that set the future of each region on fire: in Europe there was an economic and demographic take-off as a result of the abundance of cheap food, while in America it confined a weakened group of natives to submission to the European powers.
