Answer:

A) To set up trade

Step-by-step explanation:

The Europeans, realizing the significance of developing their own trading relations with Asia and motivated by a search for fresh riches, focused their efforts on improving shipbuilding and navigation. So, new ways, not new places, were on the minds of kings, common people, intellectuals, and sailors.
