The correct answers are A and C.

The Magellan's expedition was the first to circumnavigate the globe. It sailed from Seville, crossed the Atlantic Sea to South America, crossed the Magellan's strait and the Pacific Ocean, then it went through South-East Asia and the Indian Ocean, surrounded Africa, and then back to Seville.

They did landfall on every continent except Antarctica and North America.

Most of the members of the expedition died before completing the mission, including Magellan himself. Of the 239 crew that sailed from Seville only 18 returned.

The crew didn't remain loyal throughout the voyage, they rebelled for the scarcity of food and the extreme conditions of the winter in the South of what today is Argentina, near Antarctica.
