Answer:

A) beginning of direct trade between Portugal and India.

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between India and Portugal dates back over 500 years, as Vasco da Gama, the first European to find a maritime passage between Europe and India, conducted a sea-faring voyage to Kozhikode (Calicut) in Kerala in May 1498. Portugal gained control of the very valuable Indian spice industry by doing so.
