C. to become the first person to sail around Africa
Explanation:
Fernando de Magallanes, was a military, explorer, sailor and Portuguese navigator of noble lineage. It was named advanced by the Hispanic Monarchy and captain general of the "Armada for the discovery of spices" and commander of the Order of Santiago. In the service of Charles I, he began in 1519 the expedition in which he discovered the navigable natural canal that today is called the Strait of Magellan, making the first navigation of European origin from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, called hitherto sea of the South. This expedition, in which Magallanes died, became the first circumnavigation of the Earth when one of his naos, captained by Juan Sebastián Elcano, returned to Spain in 1522.
On August 10, 1519 the fleet of five ships departed from Seville, captained by Ferdinand Magellan, who, descending the Guadalquivir, reached Sanlúcar de Barrameda (Cádiz). During the following weeks, the squadron was refilled and the squadron resolved other issues. While the own Magellan granted testament in Seville the 24 of August, naming heirs to his son Rodrigo and to the creatures to that gave birth his wife, to that left pregnant. On September 20 the expedition sailed, to continue the expedition begun in Seville, with the intention of finding the maritime passage to the territories of the East Indies and find the path that, always traveling Castilian seas (according to the Treaty of Tordesillas), arrived to the islands of spices, what was the so-called route to the west that Christopher Columbus had already sought.
