The humanist scholarship encouraged oceanic exploration as due to the large-scale printing of books, people started gaining knowledge and setting out on oceanic expeditions in order to find new trade routes and satisfy their spirit of adventure.
The factors which motivated the Portuguese, particularly Prince Henry the Navigator, to explore west Africa were to extract and export gold and other valuables from which Portugal could benefit. The other reason was that Prince Henry was fascinated about west Africa as the Portuguese had little knowledge about it.
With the development of the printing press, books were available more easily and were even cheaper. This help in the widespread of new ideas and thoughts in society. People built sturdier ships with this knowledge and set out to explore new oceanic routes to procure spices and other goods at cheaper prices from different parts of the world.

Answer:
The correct answer is Bir Tawil.
Explanation:
Bir Tawil is a small area located between Egypt and Sudan, which is in dispute for these two countries. It is said to be the only territory in the world (along with a small portion of the Antarctic), which does not belong to anyone. However, there are constant claims from these two countries that claim to have sovereignty in this territory, but this has not been settled in international courts. Bir Tawil forms a kind of triangle of approximately 2000 m2, and recently a US citizen named Jeremiah Heaton symbolically claimed his sovereignty over these lands to proclaim his little daughter as queen, but no state in the world has recognized him.
