Vasco da Gama's sea voyage to India is associated with which year?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1498

The direct answer is B, 1498. Vasco da Gama, a Portuguese navigator, reached Calicut on the Malabar Coast of India in 1498 by sailing around the Cape of Good Hope. This voyage opened a direct sea route between Europe and India for Portuguese trade and helped change the history of European expansion. Option A, 1707, is much later and is associated with other events, not da Gama’s arrival. Option B, 1498, is correct because it is the accepted year of his arrival in India. Option C, 1914, marks the beginning of the First World War, not this voyage. Option D, 1315, came before the voyage and is not the accepted date. Memory cue: “Da Gama came to India in 1498”; connect him with Portugal, the Cape route and sea trade.
