Correct Answer: Bartolomeu Dias
Solution : The correct answer is Bartolomeu Dias.
After establishing the southern limits of the African continent, the Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu Dias (1450–1500) became the first European mariner to go past the southern tip of Africa in 1488. This opened the way for a sea route from Europe to Asia. In 1497, Dias embarked on a journey around Africa with Vasco da Gama to reach India.
