A. The natural resources they obtained from their colonies.

Explanation:

During the Age of Exploration, many European nations were able to gain control of other countries, in a process known as colonization. Through this process, several European powers expanded their territory. With the acquisition of this territory, the European nations also gained access to the natural resources that these countries produced, which allowed European economies to grow rapidly during this period.
