Correct Answer
A. TechnologyExplanation
European sailors were not able to sail for more than 3000 miles because they lacked the necessary technology. Without advanced navigation tools, such as accurate maps, compasses, and astrolabes, they were unable to accurately determine their position at sea and navigate long distances. Additionally, they lacked the necessary shipbuilding techniques and designs to withstand long voyages. The lack of technology hindered their ability to explore and navigate the vast oceans, limiting their sailing capabilities to shorter distances.Rate this question:

The ability to sail against the wind made caravels highly versatile and efficient vessels, contributing to the success of many exploratory voyages during that time.Rate this question:
