Answer:

Correct answer is  C. That the Atlantic Ocean was a quick way to China

Explanation:

C is correct answer because Toscanelli believed that it would be easy to navigate to Asia from Europe across the Atlantic Ocean. Some even say that he proposed this idea to Columbus.

A is wrong because he even believed that Asia was longer than it really is, and thus closer to Europe.

B is wrong as he didn't knew about the New World.

D is wrong as he was astrologer and cosmographer, so he knew that the Earth is not flat.
