C.
Bartolomeu Dias (1487–1488) was the first European known to have sailed around the southern tip of Africa (the Cape of Good Hope), proving a sea route from Europe toward Asia. The other choices describe different achievements (first circumnavigation: Magellan/Elcano; exploring all continents or first to travel to Africa and Asia are incorrect).
