Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To solve this problem, we need to correctly match explorers from List-I with their respective countries of origin from List-II.

Analyzing the names: 

• Duarte Barbosa (A) is a Portuguese explorer known for detailed descriptions of places he visited, linking him to Portugal (III).
• Marco Polo (B), a famous Venetian traveler, is associated with Italy (IV).

• A - III (Duarte Barbosa - Portugal)
• B - IV (Marco Polo - Italy)
• C - I (Ibn Battuta - Morocco)

Thus, the correct answer is: (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II).
