The correct answer is: D) Amerigo Vespucci

Explanation:

Amerigo Vespucci was born in 1454 in Florence, Italy. He belonged to a prominent family and they were friends with the Medicis (the ones who ruled Italy for over 300 years), Vespucci went to work for them and then moved to Spain.    

He took part in the early voyages to the New World. Amerigo Vespucci made his first expedition serving Spain around 1499-1500, when he returned to Spain he wanted to make another expedition and when the Spanish government didn't agreed he went to the service of Portugal, and then made his second expedition.

Even though Christopher Columbus had already discovered the New World, he thought it was part of Asia's continent, Amerigo Vespucci was the first man to realize the New World was another continent.

In 1507 Martin Waldseemüler (a German cartographer) named the New World America, the feminine version of the name Amerigo.
