Final answer:

Overland trade was ignored in favor of sea routes due to high costs, taxes, and Muslim control.


Explanation:

All of the Above. As land empires controlled routes and imposed heavy taxes, making overland trade expensive, Europeans sought an oceanic route to South and East Asia. The presence of Muslims and Ottoman Empire control further deterred overland trade, leading to the exploration of sea routes by European powers.
