Answer :

Thank you for asking the question!
Bartolomeu Dias was the Portuguese explorer. The correct answer is C, as he was the one who named the southern most point of Africa as the Cape of Storm, but later King renamed it. Dias named it as cape of storm due to the tumultuous storm and strong currents which made the ship travel so treacherous and risky. He was the first Portuguese sailor who opened the sea route from Europe to Asia. thus he established the trade ties between these two countries. 
Hope it helps.
