Answer 1

The correct answer is - B. Increased exploration meant increased contact between different regions and their inventions.

The shipbuilding, as pretty much everything else, has constantly been developing since the first ships were made to the modern day. The reason why the ships were constantly developing and becoming better and better, becoming quicker, more efficient, safer, was the ever growing communication between the different regions of the world.
