D. All of the Above
Antwerp is a city in Belgium, and is the capital of Antwerp province in Flanders.
Antwerp was the richest city in Europe at this time.[23] Antwerp's golden age is tightly linked to the "Age of Exploration". During the first half of the 16th century Antwerp grew to become the second-largest European city north of the Alps. Many foreign merchants were resident in the city.
