Answer:

C. Alfonso de Albuquerque.

Step-by-step explanation:

Afonso de Albuquerque " The Great" was the Portuguese militarily and naval commander who served as the second Governor of India. Afonso has pursued the three-fold Portuguese master plan to counter Islam, spread Christianity, and trade in spices by building a Portuguese Asian empire. Spice was a profitable business of that time and Afonso played a keen role in securing maximum profit for the Portuguese empire by controlling the other players such as Indian merchants and Ottoman traders.
