The correct answer is option 3: Red Dragon. The Red Dragon was the first English ship that came to India. It arrived in the Indian subcontinent in 1601 and was part of a fleet of four ships led by Captain James Lancaster. The purpose of their journey was to establish trade relations with the Mughal Empire. This venture eventually led to the formation of the English East India Company, which played a significant role in British imperialism in India. Option 1 (Elizabeth) and option 4 (Mayflower) are incorrect as they are associated with different historical events and contexts. Option 2 (Bengal) is also incorrect as it refers to a region in India and not a specific English ship.
