(2). For example, the Albigensian Crusade took place entirely within France

Explanation:

The major reason why the first Crusade happened was with the aim to reclaim the territory of the Byzantines and recapture the Holy Land from Muslim control. Over the decades, series of other crusades also took place.

In the option given above, the Albigensian Crusade which took place within France was inorder to root out the heretical Cathari or Albigensian sect of Christianity in France. This option actually critiques the factual accuracy of the summary.
