Who made three voyages across the Atlantic, claiming the land for King Francis I of France between 1534 and 1542?

  1. Jacques Cartier

  2. Christopher Columbus

  3. Henry Hudson

  4. John Cabot

The correct answer is: Jacques Cartier

Jacques Cartier made three voyages across the Atlantic during this time period. While Christopher Columbus is famous for his voyages across the Atlantic, he did not claim land for King Francis I in the 1530s and 1540s. Similarly, Henry Hudson and John Cabot also explored the Americas, but not specifically for King Francis I during this time period. Therefore, A is the best fit for the correct answer.
