Explanation:

The details discuss how Viking longboats (shipbuilding) and sailing abilities let them travel to Russia, Middle East, North America, and visit new areas. The first option focuses only on trade in Europe/Middle East (too narrow). The second option is about the Viking Age timeline, not related to the details’ focus on travel/exploration via shipbuilding/sailing. The third option connects their shipbuilding and sailing abilities to traveling far and exploring other lands, matching all details.

Answer:

Thanks to their abilities as shipbuilders and sailors, the Vikings were able to travel far and explore other lands.
