Answer:
e. Henry Hudson
Step-by-step explanation:
Henry Hudson was an English explorer. He first worked for English merchants, and explored several areas in North America looking for the Northwest passage to Asia.
Hudson later worked for the Dutch West India Company. He sailed for North America, discovering the Island of Manhattan and sailing up the Hudson River until the Hudson Bay. Needless to say, these geographical features were named after him.
His discoveries gave the Dutch a claim for colonization in North America.
