The correct option is 4) “pope urban ii called for crusaders to protect pilgrims and defend the holy land, resulting in europeans recapturing jerusalem.”  

The Fist Crusade took place in 1095 until 1099 and the purpose was to recover Holy Land (Jerusalem) from the Muslim control. Pope Urban II convoked for the 1st crusade during the Council of Clermont in 1095 and Jerusalem was re-conquered in 1099. During the Council of Clermont, Pope Urban II addressed the crowd urging them to fight and protect holy places such as the tomb of Jesus and the Holy Sepulcher.  

The correct answer is the fourth one: Pope Urban II called for crusaders to protect pilgrims and defend the Holy Land, resulting in Europeans recapturing Jerusalem.

At the end of the 11th-century, Turkish Muslim troops from the Seljuk Empire were besieging the borders of the Byzantine Empire, which was an Eastern Christian empire. In fact, the Seljuk empire conquered most of Anatolia from the Byzantines, threatening the free passage of European Christian pilgrims to the Holy Land. The Byzantines asked Pope Urban II for help, in order to repel the Seljuk troops. The Pope saw this circumstance as a political advantage to end the rivalry and unite the European kingdoms under one religious goal: to fight a non-Christian enemy, to take the Holy Land and, thus, to extend the dominion of the Church to new territories and expand its power. In this way, the Pope Urban II called for a crusade in 1095, which was answered by the kings and feudal lords across Europe and, four years later, they took Jerusalem and established the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem.
