Question

Answer 1

Answer 2

The correct option is option C. Francis Drake returned to England with his ship filled with Stolen Goods.

Sir Francis Drake was an English sea captain, privateer, slave trader, naval officer and explorer of the Elizabethan era. He participated in some of the earliest English slaving voyages to Africa and earned a reputation for his piracy, against Spanish ships and possessions, reason why Drake came to the attention of Queen Elizabeth I, who granted him a privateer’s commission, giving him the right to plunder Spanish ports in the Caribbean.  

Sent  to South America by Queen Elizabeth, he captured the port of Nombre de Dios, a drop-off point for silver and gold brought from Peru, returning to England with a large amount of Spanish treasure. Such return was via the Pacific, crossing the Isthmus of Panama, becoming the first Englishman to circumnavigate the globe.
