BThey achieved their goal of permanent Christian control of Jerusalem
CThey began in 1096 CE
DNine crusades were launched in total
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. They achieved their goal of permanent Christian control of Jerusalem
1. The text records nine crusades from 1096 CE.
2. Saladin reconquered Jerusalem for Islamic rule in 1187 CE.
3. The text says explicitly: 'Despite the crusades, Jerusalem and the region around it remained under the control of Islamic rule.'
4. Hence the claim of permanent Christian control is the inaccurate one.
