The correct aswer is B. Francisco Vazquez de Coronado was the Spanish explorer that claimed to have seen the Seven Cities of Cibola, and then went to explore North America's interior. His expedition explored from northern Mexico to Kansas, passing through today's Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma.

On his trip the Grand Canyon of the Colorado was discovered, and valuable information about the American Southwest was gathered.
