The statement that identifies an economic cause of the Crusades is: "Byzantine Emperor Alexios I hoped to find wealth and spices in the Middle East."

To get to this answer, we need to understand the historical context of the Crusades. The Crusades were a series of military campaigns initiated by Western European Christians in the 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries. These campaigns were primarily aimed at gaining control over the Holy Land, especially Jerusalem, which was under the control of Islamic powers.

One of the key economic motivations behind the Crusades was the desire for wealth. In the case of Byzantine Emperor Alexios I, he hoped to find wealth and spices in the Middle East. The Byzantine Empire was facing threats from the expansion of the Seljuk Turks, who had taken control of parts of Anatolia, including some Byzantine territories. Alexios I sought help from the Western European Christians to defend against the Turks and restore the Byzantine territories. In return, he promised them various economic rewards, including the chance to acquire wealth and spices from the Middle East.

Therefore, the statement that mentions Alexios I's hope for wealth and spices in the Middle East as an economic cause of the Crusades is the correct answer.
