A. Sunni Islam B. Hinayana Buddhism C. Orthodox Judaism

I would say he was Catholic
Christopher Columbus landed on the island he later named San Salvador of the present day Bahamas in Central America.
In 1497 the island was discovered by the Italian navigator John Cabot
False, I believe
Yes, catholic
Columbus went nowhere near Newfoundland in any of his voyages.
Columbus was funded by Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain. If he had been anything but Catholic he would have been lucky to escape from their court with his life.
You are correct. Columbus first sighted land in the New World on October 12, 1492, but it was not near Newfoundland. Instead, he arrived in the present-day Bahamas in the Caribbean. Therefore, the statement "Columbus first sighted land in the New World near Newfoundland" is false.
Regarding Columbus's religious beliefs, he was indeed a devout Roman Catholic. He was born in the Republic of Genoa in Italy and was a faithful follower of the Catholic Church throughout his life. So, option D - Roman Catholicism, is the correct answer.
