Solution
The correct option is C Jamestown
Explorer John Cabot set out on a voyage under the English king’s commission and reached the coast of Nova Scotia in 1497. But the expeditionaries did not colonise the land. Neither did they have the means to colonise nor did they realize its value until the Spanish and the Portuguese started reaping the benefits.
However, in 1607, they claimed their first colony, Jamestown.
