The Portuguese were among the first Europeans to explore the
seas beyond Europe. Henry the Navigator urged his father, King John I, to
conquer the port of Ceuta in Northern Africa. He also sponsored the development
of the Caravel, a sailing ship that is lighter and faster than most ships at
that time. Use of caravels enabled sailors to travel further and with more
provisions, and the light draft enabled Portuguese sailors to explore shallow
rivers and waters. He also sponsored explorations to Madeira, Azores, and West
Coast of Africa.

The Renaissance followed the Humanism. This thought placed importance on the human capacity to produce and solve problems, create artistic elements and guide their lives satisfactorily without the help of divine powers. Humanism tried to overthrow the medieval idea about humankind. The medieval man should be pure, sanctified, capable of overcoming sin to ensure the salvation of the soul. Renaissance tried to show humans as they were and to promote their potential.
The name “Canada” likely comes from the Huron-Iroquois word “kanata,” meaning “village” or “settlement.” In 1535, two Aboriginal youths told French explorer Jacques Cartier about the route to kanata; they were actually referring to the village of Stadacona, the site of the present-day City of Québec. For lack of another name, Cartier used the word “Canada” to describe not only the village, but the entire area controlled by its chief, Donnacona.
The name was soon applied to a much larger area; maps in 1547 designated everything north of the St. Lawrence River as Canada. Cartier also called the St. Lawrence River the “rivière du Canada,” a name used until the early 1600s. By 1616, although the entire region was known as New France, the area along the great river of Canada and the Gulf of St. Lawrence was still called Canada.
Soon explorers and fur traders opened up territory to the west and to the south, and the area known as Canada grew. In the early 1700s, the name referred to all French lands in what is now the American Midwest and as far south as present-day Louisiana.
The first use of Canada as an official name came in 1791, when the Province of Quebec was divided into the colonies of Upper Canada and Lower Canada. In 1841, the two colonies were united under one name, the Province of Canada.
The correct answer is "C"
The key period in relation to important food exchange is between the fourteenth and seventeenth centuries. Throughout this period, Marco Polo's trips to the Far East took place, as well as the series of geographical expeditions and colonial enterprises initiated by Portuguese navigators and which continued with the voyages to America that Christopher Columbus began in 1492. The exchange of Food between Europe and America was given from the time of colonization and is not one of the causes of the independence revolutions in Latin America.
