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.

The ring is offered to Galadriel, but she declines for the same reasons as Gandalf.
Secondly, the main theme represented by Aragorn would be You cannot judge a book by its cover.
The other ones don't make too much sense.
Aragorn certainly did not believe in might makes right.
While Aragorn's love story was present in the book, it was far from his main theme, and Arwen rarely appeared.
And while the concept of All good things must come to an end is in the book, it is not represented by Aragorn. It is represented by the elves and their leaving from Middle Earth, Aragorn shows new birth with the kingdom of Men.
