Answer 1

The initial (first) reason many European explorers sailed to the Americas was primarily to find new sources of cheap labor. However, more broadly, they sought new trade routes and resources, such as gold and spices, and some also aimed to spread Christianity. If you have to choose between the two options you provided, it would be more accurate to say that many were motivated by the search for new resources and wealth.
