A Correct answer
Explanation

The Ottoman Turks used massive cannon called 'bombards' in 1453 to breach the previously impenetrable walls of Constantinople. These were among the largest guns ever made at the time. Note that option C has a typo ('Seige' should be 'Siege') and option D is historically incorrect as Britain wasn't involved in this siege.
