Solution

The correct option is B Calicut
Vasco da Gama sailed from Portugal, rounded the Cape of Good Hope, the southern tip of Africa, and reached Calicut on the western coast of India in 1498 CE. He was welcomed by King Zamorin and was allowed to trade. Eventually he was followed by other Europeans.
