Answer: A. Improved seafaring technologies

Step-by-step explanation:

Exploration trips that took place during the 15th and 17th centuries are known as the era of discovery. Starting with the discovery of the American continent by Cristobal Colon.

What allowed these exploration trips were the technological advancements that occurred in Europe from a century before, beginning with the development of the magnetic compass as a method of orientation, the astrolabe for measurement, and the construction of better vessels such as the caravel, which despite its resistance, its construction was cheap.

I hope this information can help you.
