Answer:

C. The Portuguese gaining Brazil in the Treaty of Tordesillas

Step-by-step explanation:

The Portugueses’ discovery of the faster, seafaring route to Asia along the coast of Africa has nothing to do with the later discovery of America and the subsequent claiming of Brazil. In fact, Brazil is in the americas, a whole other continent than the ones mentioned in this question :)
