Answer:

D). Sir Walter Raleigh

Step-by-step explanation:

The Roanoke Settlement or the Roanoke Colony is also called as the the Lost Colony. It was a first attempt for a English settlement in North America. Queen Elizabeth I issued an order allowing Sir Walter Raleigh to go on a voyage and search for new land for settlement. Sir Walter Raleigh sent out his man across Atlantic ocean to find a new place for settlement and they reported a place named Roanoke. In 1984, 1985 and 1987, Sir Walter Raleigh funded his expeditions for settlement in Roanoke island.
