Answer:

d. The Moluccas, known for their spices

Ferdinand Magellan was sent on a mission by the Spanish crown in 1519 to find a western route to the Moluccas, also known as the Spice Islands. These islands were famous for their valuable spices such as cloves, nutmeg, and mace. Magellan's expedition became the first to circumnavigate the globe, although he himself did not complete the journey as he died during the voyage.
