Solution

The correct option is A Ram is correct.
The governments in Europe sent sailors to explore the American continent and find out more about it. Cortez, a Spanish explorer, led an expedition to plunder Mexico. He killed many native people in the process. It was Pizarro who did the same in Peru.
