I went through the link and one of the sites spoke about the roman empire. Would that be it?

"The Palaiologans even managed to capture Constantinople in 1261 CE, but the Byzantine Empire was now in decline. It kept losing territory, until finally the Ottoman Empire (which had replaced the Sultanate of Rum) under Mehmet II conquered Constantinople in 1453 CE and took over government."

Thanks Mrs. Sue

You're welcome.

The empire that defeated and replaced the Byzantine Empire as the dominant authority in the Mediterranean was the Ottoman Empire, which is option 4 in your list. The Ottoman Empire established itself as a formidable power during the 14th and 15th centuries, and eventually conquered Constantinople (present-day Istanbul) in 1453, marking the end of the Byzantine Empire. To arrive at this answer, one could study the history of the Byzantine Empire and its eventual decline, focusing on the rise of the Ottoman Empire as its successor.
