Solution

The correct option is B 1 and 3 only
Vasco da Gama, c. 1460s – 24 December 1524), was a Portuguese explorer and the first European to reach India by sea.

Portuguese Empire established the first European trading centre at Kollam.

The Cartaz (plural cartazes, in Portuguese) was a naval trade license or pass issued by the Portuguese empire in the Indian ocean during the sixteenth century (circa 1502-1750). Its name derives from the Portuguese term 'cartas', meaning letters. The British navicert system of 1939-45 shared similarities with it.
