Answer:
what is the exact question dear
Answer: C) It declined slowly, over many decades.
Constantinople was governed by Sultan Mehmed II of the Ottoman Empire after it was overthrown on May 29, 1453. The Ottomans ended the faltering Byzantine Empire by destroying the city of Constantinople's mediaeval land wall after besieging it for 55 days. Mehmed ringed Constantinople from land and sea, maintaining a constant assault against its formidable defense with cannons.
The fall of the city removed what had once been a strong deterrent against Muslim invasion in Christian Europe, allowing Ottoman expansion into eastern Europe to proceed undisturbed. In the fifteenth century, most people thought that Constantinople's walls were the strongest in all of Europe.
