The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options included, we can say the following.

After ten months of traveling, Vasco da Gama’s fleet reached this port in India: Calicut.

It was Portuguese King Manuel I, who in 1497, supported Vasco Da Gamma -an experienced navigator- to command a fleet to India and honor the name of Portugal. The idea was that the navigator could find a good route from Portugal to the East of India to establish trade relationships with that nation because, in those years, Muslim people were the ones who traded the most in that region. Leading four ships, Vasco Da Gamma arrived at Calicut, India in 1498.
