Answer 1

C) Portugal

Step-by-step explanation:

Polynesia isn't European. Portuguese explorers like Magellan and Prince Henry show that Portugal was a front-runner in exploration.

The Portuguese prince Henry the Navigator (1394-1460) launched the first great European voyages of exploration. He sought new lands and sources of revenue for his kingdom and dynasty and searched for eastern Christian allies against Islam. -biography.yourdictionary
