Between C and D I'd choose C, because "ignoring" in D sounds as though the empire realized the failure and ignored earlier defeats at the same time (gerund indicates simultaneous action according to ETS)

C is the correct answer.
Learning of the fall of Constantinople to the Turks in 1453, the failure
It seems that "The failure" learned about the fall of the constantinople - A is out.
B - Christian Europe realized that the crusading movement had failed, which had ignored earlier major defeats
Seems to suggest that the Crusading movement had ignored earlier major defeats - so B is out too.
D seems to suggest that Christian Europe in the process of ignoring earlier major defeats realized....
E.. seems to suggest that the knowledge of the fall of constantinople MADE christian Europe to IGNORE and REALIZE simultaneously that the crusade had failed. On the contrary Christian Europe had actually ignored the earlier major defeats and it was the fall of constantinople that actually made them realize that their crusade had failed.
