It was Wyoming, a Western American state, and it happened in 1869. Even though the suffragists' fight for women's right to vote was mainly directed toward the Eastern states, as the most progressive and liberal, the first state to enfranchise women was a Western one.

The correct answer is B. Explorers from Europe hoped to discover new trade routes to Asia.
Explanation:
During the Age of Exploration (15th century to the 17th century) European countries such as Spain, the United Kingdom, France, and Portugal led maritime explorations. In this context, European explorers' main motivation was to find a maritime route to Asia as the only route during the time was a land route, which was difficult and took too much time. Also, Europeans believed a new route would increase trade and benefit them economically. This motivation later led to the discovery of the Americans, and the colonization process. Thus, it is option B the one that was a motivation related to the Age of Exploration.
