Answer 1

The Florentine explorer who sailed with the French to parts of North Carolina and along the North Atlantic coast to New York Harbor was Giovanni da Verrazzano.

Step-by-step explanation:

This Florentine explorer sailed with the French and explored parts of North Carolina and along the North Atlantic coast including New York Harbor was Giovanni da Verrazzano. Unlike the other options provided, Hernan Cortes and Francisco Pizarro were Spanish Conquistadors known primarily for their conquests in Central and South America, Cortes in Mexico against the Aztec Empire, and Pizarro in Peru against the Inca Empire. Hernando De Soto, another Spanish explorer, led expeditions mainly in the southeastern United States, searching for gold but not along the North Atlantic coast.
