Explanation:

Zheng He's voyages, commissioned by the Ming Dynasty, were primarily intended to project China's imperial power, demonstrate its wealth and prestige to other nations across the Indian Ocean region, and establish diplomatic ties. While some trade occurred, profit was not the core goal; nor were the voyages focused on finding European trade routes or lost treasure.

Answer:

A. To show off Chinese prestige, power, and riches
