Solution

The correct option is D 1510
Albuquerque was the second Viceroy of the Portuguese in India. He captured Goa from the Sultan of Bijapur in 1510 and made it the capital. He also strengthened his relationship with the Vijayanagar Empire. He can be rightly called the real founder of the Portuguese power in India.
