Question

what compromise ended the third crusade?
both muslims and christians withdrew from jerusalem, declaring it to be a neutral city.
muslims continued to rule jerusalem, but they allowed christian pilgrims free access to the city.
the muslim ruler of jerusalem decided to convert to christianity as a sign of good will.
the crusaders agreed to pay ransom to muslim forces and then depart from the holy land.

Explanation:

The Third Crusade ended with the Treaty of Jaffa in 1192. Under this treaty, Muslims retained control of Jerusalem, but Christian pilgrims were allowed free access to the city. This was a key compromise. The option about both withdrawing is incorrect as Muslims stayed. The conversion option is false as there was no such mass - scale conversion. The ransom - paying option does not reflect the main outcome of the end of the Third Crusade.

Answer:

Muslims continued to rule Jerusalem, but they allowed Christian pilgrims free access to the city.
