a. by a land route through central Asia

c. by a sea route over the Atlantic Ocean
d. by a sea route around the Horn of Africa

A sea Route around Africa would be much more complicated than going by land and the Europeans were not quite using that passage near Africa's horn back in that year. Also, the Atlantic Ocean doesn't touch China's coast. Trade with China had to go through an extensive travel over land.
