To determine the correct answers, we can evaluate each option individually:

A. It eliminated Christianity from society and made Europeans more open-minded.
This statement is not accurate. The Renaissance did not eliminate Christianity from society; rather, it sparked a renewed interest in classical knowledge and humanistic ideas while still maintaining a strong Christian influence.

B. It contributed to technological advancements that helped in navigation.
This statement is correct. One of the significant contributions of the Renaissance to the Age of Discovery was technological advancements, particularly in navigation. Innovations such as the astrolabe, compass, and improvements in mapmaking techniques greatly aided European explorers in their voyages.

C. It inspired a sense of curiosity in the larger world.
This statement is correct. The Renaissance, with its focus on human intellect, artistic expression, and the revival of classical texts, generated a spirit of curiosity and a desire to explore and discover the larger world beyond Europe.

D. It increased the popularity of and demand for sugar.
This statement is not directly linked to the Renaissance's influence on the Age of Discovery. While the discovery of new trade routes and colonies during the Age of Discovery did open up new possibilities for the sugar trade, the increased popularity and demand for sugar can be attributed more to the subsequent colonization of the Americas and the establishment of sugar plantations.

In summary, the correct options that explain how the Renaissance contributed to the Age of Discovery are B. It contributed to technological advancements that helped in navigation and C. It inspired a sense of curiosity in the larger world.
