Which of these was a goal of the First Crusade?

Answer
A
to halt the spread of Muslim rule
B
to destroy the city of Jerusalem

to convince the Muslims to rule Jerusalem jointly
D

Explanation

The First Crusade was launched in 1095 after the Byzantine emperor appealed for help against advancing Muslim forces. Its goals included stopping further Muslim expansion and capturing Jerusalem, which was under Muslim rule. The Crusaders did not seek to destroy Jerusalem or arrange joint rule of the city, and Constantinople was not their target.
