Explanation:

The Byzantine Empire's capital in 1096 was Constantinople. Among the given options, none is correct as the capital was not Antioch, Rome, Jerusalem or Athens. But historically, the Crusader forces in 1096 gathered and passed through Constantinople on their way to the Holy - Land. If we assume the question has an error and we consider the most relevant city among the options in the context of the Crusades and Byzantine influence, Antioch was an important city in the region but not the capital. Rome was the capital of the Western Roman Empire in the past, Jerusalem was the holy city for the Crusades but not the Byzantine capital, and Athens was a significant ancient Greek city but not the Byzantine capital.

Answer:

None of the above options are correct as the Byzantine capital in 1096 was Constantinople.
