The option that accurately describes Portugal's role in the Age of Exploration is:
A. Portugal explored Africa and found the kingdom of Prester John.
Portugal was indeed involved in explorations along the African coast, seeking new trade routes and the legendary kingdom of Prester John, which was thought to be a Christian kingdom somewhere in Africa.
The other options are not accurate representations of Portugal's historical actions during the Age of Exploration:
- B: Portugal did not conquer the Inca Empire; that was primarily the work of Spain.
- C: Portugal did not explore North America in search of the Northwest Passage; this was more closely associated with English and French exploration efforts.
