Explorations of Jacques Cartier

The correct statement that describes the area explored during a voyage by Jacques Cartier is: D: Cartier explored and claimed the area marked 1 for France. Jacques Cartier was a French navigator who made three voyages to North America, particularly focusing on the area of what is now Canada, including the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and the Saint Lawrence River. In his expeditions from 1534 to 1541, Cartier was attempting to find a passage to Asia, but instead, he established early contact with local peoples and claimed the northern part of North America for France, an area he named New France. His explorations laid the groundwork for the future French colonization efforts in North America.
