Answer:
The Bahamas.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Bahamas is the set of islands on which Christopher Columbus and many other explorers followed.
Christopher Columbus landed on the island on 12th October, 1492, on an island, modern day 'the Bahamas' a set of seven-hundred islands. His ship landed on the then called name, Guanahani, which was later renamed by Columbus to San Salvdar.
The island is called 'West Indies' because Christopher was on his voyage to reach the land of India and perceived the island to be India or Indies. Thus he called it 'the West Indies.'
After Christopher made his landfall on the island, many other explorers and scholars followed him.
Thus the correct answer is 'the Bahamas.'
