C)Drake.
is the answer. Look him up again ^-^
"In 1557, Drake began a three-year voyage that took him around the world. During this voyage, he raided Spanish ports and ships in South America. When he arrived home in 1580, he was a national hero.
Not only had Drake and his men hounded the Sapnish, but they were also the first Englishmen to sail around the world."
Sorry for the misunderstanding earlier. ^^;

A) John Cabot ( Giovanni), Italian sailor, probably born in 1455
1496= first voyage was failure
1497= first voyage of discovery

C) Sir Francis Drake
English seaman who led the 1585 expedition to the West Indies to raid Spanish colonies. Martin Frobisher was with him.
D) Martin Frobisher
( www.plpsd.mb.ca/amhs/history/frobiser.html)
born 1535
died 1594
= one of the first English explorers to find & navigate the Northwest Passage leading him to the Orient. He was one of the greatest Elizabeth seamen. In 1576, he was placed in command of an expedition of the Northwest Passage.
I think the answer is A. The eldest is Cabot & is first voyage of discovery was in 1497. However, the discovery didnt discuss more if it was around the world.
I didnt get any data on Hudson.

well, the first person to sail around the world was magellan but he's not british
can you rephrase your question?
if you want the first "landing" in north america, that'll be cabot, or "giovanni caboto"
