Solution

The correct option is B Columbus in 1492
Christopher Columbus discovered America In 1492. Christopher Columbus was an Italian explorer, navigator and coloniser. It is commonly said that "Columbus discovered America." It would be more accurate, perhaps, to say that he introduced the Americas to Western Europe during his four voyages to the region between 1492 and 1502.
