C. The trade routes for goods between North America and Europe.

Explanation:

The Colombian exchange refers to a large exchange of plants, animals, and even diseases between Europe and the Americas.

Europe sent to the Americas: cows, horses, chicken, wheat, smallpox, etc.

America sent to Europe: potatoes, tomatoes, tobacco, corn, etc.

These are just some of the goods that were a part of this exchange.
