C. He was the first to discover that Brazil and the West Indies were not near Asia.
Explanation: Vespucci's voyages along the coast of South America led him to conclude these lands were a "New World" separate from Asia; the new continents were later named "America" after him. He did not open a route to Asia or claim North America for Italy.
