Answer:

Correct answer is between Europe and the Americas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Between Europe and the Americas is the correct answer because Europeans didn't know that the continent that we know today as America existed. That is why Columbus was convinced that why sailing to the west will reach the eastern shores of Asia.

All other answers are not correct because Africa, Asia and Europe are the so called Old World, and they knew about the geography of this region.
