Where did Magellan meet his death during the circumnavigation voyage?

• A. Philippines

Answer: (A)

Magellan met his death in the Philippines, on the island of Mactan near Cebu, during a 1521 battle with local forces led by Lapu-Lapu. He died before completing the circumnavigation, but the voyage was continued by his crew under Elcano and eventually returned to Spain, making the first global voyage despite his death. The other places listed aren’t where this fatal encounter occurred, and the expedition did not end there.
