A Correct answer
Explanation

Afonso de Albuquerque (misspelled in option as 'Alfanso') conquered Goa from the Bijapur Sultanate in 1510, establishing it as Portugal's key naval base in Asia. Vasco da Gama had discovered the sea route to India in 1498 but did not conquer Goa. Other options are incorrect - Sir Thomas Roe was a British ambassador, not a conqueror.
