Explanation

Vasco da Gama was a Portuguese navigator and explorer who surrounded the African continent until he reached India, thereby establishing the route known as "The Spice Route".

Its discovery is indisputable to understand the commercial relations between Europe, Africa, and Asia during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.

So, the correct answer is C. Da Gama's
