Answer:

The correct answer is he discovered the sea route around Africa

Step-by-step explanation:

Bartolomeu dias was a Portuguese sailor from the Age of Exploration. As Portugal started to explore the open seas for new markets and products, the Monarch funded several expeditions.

In 1487-88, Bartolomeu dias was exploring the coast of Africa as he went further South. Eventually he discovered the first Sea route from Europe to Asia, via the tip of modern-day South Africa.

Before the discovery of this sea route, all trade and transport between Europe and Asia took place over land.
