To find this answer, you can start by eliminating the options that are not relevant. Buddhism is not known for instituting trade bans, so we can eliminate that option. The Greek Orthodox Church and the Islamic caliphate also did not have a central authority to enforce trade bans, so we can eliminate those options as well.
Now, we are left with the papacy/Catholic Church as the most likely answer. During the Middle Ages, particularly in the 11th and 12th centuries, the Catholic Church implemented a series of trade bans called "papal prohibitions" or "papal bull." These bans were enacted primarily against regions controlled by Muslims, such as the Islamic Caliphate in the Middle East. The church imposed these bans as part of the Crusades, which were military campaigns authorized by the papacy to recapture the Holy Land from Muslim control.
Therefore, the correct answer is papacy/Catholic Church.
