Answer 1

The statement that is FALSE in regards to exploration of the Americas in the 1400-1500s is:

"European exploration proved most beneficial to Native Americans."

This is false because European exploration and colonization had devastating effects on Native American populations, including violence, displacement, and the introduction of diseases to which they had no immunity, leading to significant population decline. The other statements are accurate in reflecting the historical impacts of European exploration and colonization.
