The correct answer is 1. Portugal's attempt to participate directly in the global spice trade was a factor leading to the Age of Exploration.

Explanation:

The Age of Exploration was a historical period that started at the beginning of the 15th century, extending until the beginning of the 17th century. During this time the Europeans, mainly Portuguese, Spanish and British, traveled almost the entire planet, mapping it and conquering it. The reason for this expansion came from the need to access the riches of Asia, with which to contribute to European mercantilism.

The global exploration began with the Portuguese discoveries of the Atlantic archipelagos of Madeira and the Azores, the coast of Africa and the discovery of the maritime route to India in 1498. These discoveries led to numerous naval expeditions across the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans, and land expeditions in America, Asia, Africa and Australia that continued until the end of the 19th century and ended with the exploration of the polar regions in the 20th century.
