Answer 1

Magellan's expedition was sponsored by Spain and his fleet successfully circumnavigated the globe.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two statements accurately describe Magellan's expedition:

1. a) Magellan's expedition was sponsored by Spain. Magellan was commissioned by the Spanish Crown to seek a trade route to Asia.
2. b) Magellan's fleet circumnavigated the globe. Although Magellan died mid-voyage, his fleet became the first to successfully complete a circumnavigation, returning to Spain in 1525.

Magellan's expedition also encountered multiple challenges and conflicts during the voyage, contradicting statement d.
