What is the name of the island that was the first European colony in the New World, settled by Christopher Columbus?

The island that was the first European colony in the New World, settled by Christopher Columbus, is Hispaniola. Columbus landed on Hispaniola during his first voyage to the Americas in 1492, and he established the settlement of La Navidad there. This settlement marked the first successful European attempt to establish a colony in the New World. Hispaniola is significant in colonial history as it was later divided into two separate nations, Haiti and the Dominican Republic, and it played a crucial role in the early interactions between Europeans and the native Taino people. The other choices, while significant in their own right, either came under European colonization later or were not the sites of Columbus's initial settlement.
