Answer 1

B). a desire for a better access to spices.

Answer 2

The second answer is correct: (B).

One of the main causes of European exploration was the search for native spices from the Americas, which had great value in Europe.

The Americas had a great diversity of precious metals, plants, animals and inputs that could be used in productive processes in Europe. In this way, European nations exploited the colonies to extract natural resources and take them to Europe.
