Answer 2

The correct answer is B. In 1492, Columbus sailed hoping to find an all water route to Asia.

Step-by-step explanation:

Christopher Columbus organized four expeditions to the New World. Christopher Columbus' goal was to find a route to Asian products to trade sailing west. But, instead of finding such a route, he accidentally discovered for western civilization lands of which there was no knowledge and that provided the kingdom of Castile with territories of an extension never dreamed of and many riches.

Christopher Columbus never achieved his initial goal: to find the route to Asia and trade with his products.
