C Correct answer
Explanation

Primarily means 'for the most part' or 'mainly,' which correctly describes the Europeans' initial motivation for coming to India - they came principally/first and foremost for riches. 'Basically' and 'fundamentally' are too abstract, while 'seemingly' contradicts the historical fact that they did indeed come for riches.
