I believe the answer is C) to find riches for his country and to increase the power of Portugal. Prince Henry the Navigator was the prince who sent Bartholomew Diaz on his trip around the Cape of Africa. He wanted Portugal to reach Asia before England so they would be more powerful.
Hope this helps! Please let me know if I'm wrong :)
