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

  1. Christopher Columbus.

  2. John Cabot.

  3. Leif Erikson.

  4. Jacques Cartier.

The correct answer is: Jacques Cartier.

Jacques Cartier made three voyages across the Atlantic and claimed the land for King Francis I of France. Christopher Columbus is known for his voyages across the ocean, but he made four voyages and claimed the land for King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain. John Cabot and Leif Erikson both made voyages to North America, but they did not claim the land for France. John Cabot claimed the land for England, while Leif Erikson was a Norse explorer who arrived in North America before Columbus, but did not claim the land for any specific country. Therefore, the other options are incorrect as they do not match the given criteria of claiming land for King Francis I of France.
