A is not true, because only 1 ship returned.

C is technically right, but I'm not sure if they're gonna get you on a technicality. Magellan did not go from point A to B. He went to the Indian ocean, one direction and then went the other direction from the atlantic to the pacific. So he went in 2 different directions, but I guess you could consider that the entire expedition.

But B is also true, because Magellan expected the trip through the Pacific ocean to be very quick, but it took a month to reach the middle of it. So this question sucks lol.
