The correct answer is C) Gold and Spices.

Columbus's sailors hope they gain on this great voyage "Gold and Spices."

Cristopher Columbus discovered America on October 12, 1492, when he and his sailors arrived at the islands in the Caribbean. Spanish King Ferdinand de Aragon and Queen Isabella de Castille had sponsored the trip of Columbus because they wanted to explore new routes to the Indies and get more richness for the Spanish Kingdom. Columbus' sailors were ambitious and also wanted a piece of the pie and aspire to get some precious metals such as gold, as part of the adventure.
