multiple choice
the rise of women as a significant political force.
a deflationary spiral that dried up sources of capital.
political decentralization with a democratic philosophy.
technological advances in seafaring and weaponry.

Explanation:

Technological advances in seafaring (like better ships and navigation tools) and weaponry (giving military superiority) were crucial in enabling European expansion into the New World after 1450. Women did not rise as a significant political force at this time in relation to this expansion. A deflationary spiral would not encourage expansion. Political decentralization with a democratic philosophy was not a main - driving factor for this expansion at that period.

Answer:

D. technological advances in seafaring and weaponry
