Answer:
Takes a clear position on a debatable topic
Explanation:
The idea that the Earth is a spherical served as the foundation for Christopher Columbus' exploration.
- The church exerted considerable influence over society during the Middle Ages, and the majority of explanations for observed events were perceived as commands from God. As a result, scientific growth made minimal progress during this time.
- At that time, ships were thought to fall when they approached the horizon, and the flat Earth notion was widely accepted across Europe. However, other philosophers asserted that the Earth was a spherical and that this property prevented observers from seeing the full surface of the planet.
- Since Christopher Columbus was among the thinkers who thought the Earth was spherical, he wanted to create a new trade route by circumnavigating the globe to reach the East Indies.
Thus the correct answer is Option C.
