Answer:

A. All of the answers are true, however:

Step-by-step explanation:

It is improper to state that it led to the "discovery" of the Americas, as discovery is quite subjective, and the Europeans were not the first people group to arrive to the Americas. If you were only talking about the European perspective, it is a correct statement, however, this is viewed through the lends of history, and therefore is not a 100% true statement. Instead, it should be: "the voyages eventually led to the Europeans finding out the existence of the Americas".
