The correct answer to number one is A)Millions of people moved to the Americas.

The beginning of the Columbian Exchange allowed European citizens to understand that there was a completely new continent with an opportunity to gain land and resources. The possibility of getting rich and having your own land was one of the biggest factors behind the huge movement of people from Europe to America. Religious freedom also played a significant role as well.
