Correct Answer: Vasco da Gama


Solution : The correct option is Vasco da Gama.

In 1498, Vasco da Gama successfully sailed around the Cape of Good Hope at the southern tip of Africa and reached the shores of Calicut, which is present-day Kozhikode. This new maritime route, which connected Europe to India via the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, was later referred to as the sea route to India.
