Answer

Brief Explanations:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

  • "ridding the country of the Vikings’ rule" is incorrect as Viking rule in Russia (Kievan Rus') was earlier and not ended by Ivan III.
  • "bringing in foreign architects to rebuild Moscow" is correct. Ivan III invited Italian architects (like Aristotle of Bologna) to rebuild Moscow's structures (e.g., the Kremlin), which contributed to Russia's resurgence.
  • "building the city of Kiev into a trading center" is incorrect; Kiev's development as a trading center was earlier, and Ivan III focused on Moscow.
  • "becoming the most influential leader of Russia" is vague and not a specific action contributing to resurgence like architectural rebuilding.

Answer:

B. bringing in foreign architects to rebuild Moscow.
