The correct answer is: A. Domingos Torrado
Domingos Torrado was a Portuguese Franciscan friar who was appointed as the first bishop of Goa in 1534. He was born in Portugal in 1488 and died in Goa in 1549.
Torrado was a member of the Franciscan order and was ordained a priest in 1516. He served as a missionary in India from 1520 to 1534. In 1534, he was appointed as the first bishop of Goa by Pope Paul III.
Torrado was a strong advocate for the rights of the native people of India. He worked to improve their living conditions and to protect them from exploitation. He also worked to promote education and to build churches and schools.
Torrado was a controversial figure. Some people accused him of being too lenient with the native people. Others accused him of being too harsh. However, he is generally considered to have been a good bishop who worked hard to improve the lives of the people of Goa.
