Explanation

Vasco da Gama, the Portuguese explorer, discovered the sea route from Europe to India by sailing around the southern tip of Africa (the Cape of Good Hope) in 1498-1499. This was a major breakthrough in trade routes, connecting Europe directly to Asia by sea without needing overland routes through the Middle East. The other options are fictional or incorrectly associated explorers.
