Option E, European commercial interest in exotic raw material, is the right answer.

Explanation:

The period between the early phase of the 15th century to the early 17th century is known as the Age of Discovery. During this time, European vessels traveled throughout the world to search for new trading routes and companions. The traders during this time began their journey in search of various goods such as silver, gold and spices. Following this process, Europeans came into contact with people and lands previously unknown to them. Therefore, the primary reason for the beginning of the Age of Discovery was the interest of Europeans in exotic raw material.
