Explanation:

A. Increasing demand for furs.

Explanation:

Although their interest in exploration had died, the French continued to fish along the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, occasionally trading with the Native Americans for furs. When new tanning processes were developed in Europe, a new market for furs arose—beaver hats were in demand. France saw this fur trade as a profitable way to take advantage of their New World claims. As the fur trade grew increasingly important, the French king realized it must be protected. French settlers were needed to hold the land France claimed. Able leaders were promised an official monopoly of the fur trade in exchange for establishing colonies. Many settlements were attempted, but to France's dismay, they continually failed.

the crusades are one of the most significant events in the history of europe and the middle east.   they were a series of religious wars carried out by christian crusaders from europe during the timeframe of the middle ages.   beginning in 1095 ce, the crusades saw european knights and noblemen travel to the middle east in an attempt to capture the holy land away from muslim people that had controlled the region for the previous centuries.   the term crusade means ‘cross’.   therefore, the europeans that became crusaders viewed themselves as ‘taking up the cross’.   in fact, many of the crusaders wore crosses on their clothing and armor as they made their pilgrimage to the holy land.
