The correct answer is D. Jacques Cartier
Step-by-step explanation:
The timeline shows the different explorers that traveled to America based on the year they first traveled to the continent. Moreover, the European country they were from is shown in parenthesis. In the case of chart 4, this shows this explorer was French and arrived in America in 1534. Based on these two details, it can be concluded the explorer is Jacques Cartier because from all the options given he is the only French explorer, while others such as Vasco da Gama or Bartolomeu Dias were Portuguese explorer.
Moreover, Cartier first traveled to America in 1534 and during this trip, he explored the eastern coast of modern Canada and had contact with natives. Also, after this trip, Cartier traveled multiple times to the zone, which caused the French to later colonize this territory.
