Option a is correct - Francisco de Almeida.
In 1498, the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama sailed into Calicut. He had been commissioned by the Portuguese king to find a sea rout to the East. He then took permission from the Zamorin, who was the ruler of Calicut, to trade in spices and cotton.
The Portuguese government in India was set up seven years later, in the year 1505. The first Viceroy to be appointed by the Portuguese was Francisco de Ameida who made Cochin his headquarters.
