The statement that accurately describes Portugal’s role in the age of exploration is:
Portugal explored the coast of Africa, discovering a sea route to India and beginning the Atlantic slave trade.
This reflects Portugal's significant contributions to maritime exploration, particularly along the African coast, their establishment of trade routes to India, and their involvement in the transatlantic slave trade.
