To find the answer to this question, you can start by eliminating the incorrect options and narrowing down your choices.

1. The Mongol Empire did not defeat and replace the Byzantine Empire as the dominant authority in the Mediterranean. The Mongol Empire was primarily centered in Central Asia and did not have direct control over the Mediterranean region.

2. The Persian Empire, although a formidable ancient empire, did not defeat the Byzantine Empire as the dominant authority in the Mediterranean. The Persian Empire was mainly focused on the regions of present-day Iran and the Middle East.

3. The Holy Roman Empire is not the correct answer either. The Holy Roman Empire was primarily a confederation of Germanic states in Central Europe and did not extend its dominion to the Mediterranean.

This leaves us with the fourth option:

4. The Ottoman Empire. This is the correct answer. The Ottoman Empire defeated and replaced the Byzantine Empire as the dominant authority in the Mediterranean. The Byzantine Empire fell to the Ottomans in 1453 when Constantinople (present-day Istanbul) was conquered by Sultan Mehmed II.

So, the Ottoman Empire is the empire that defeated and replaced the Byzantine Empire as the dominant authority in the Mediterranean.
