Answer:

C.  Their textile industry depended on English wool

Explanation:

    During the Hundred Years' War, merchants in Flanders, threatened by the greed of the French monarchy, resolved to support the armies of England who made significant profits from exporting wool to traders in that region. Flanders' financial support provided a huge military advantage against France. In the war, England also hoped to recover territories in Continental Europe lost to France during the reign of John Landless.
