Question

which of the following was the main reason that Constantinople was a good location for the capital of the Byzantine Empire

Answer 1

I believe the answer is: It was located on peninsula between Europe and Asia and lied on the cross of trade routes

This location gave constantinople a strategic location to control the trades between European traders and Asian traders. They could obtain a lot of profit by either taxing the trades that pass through their territory, or monopolizing a certain type of product themselves.
