A Correct answer

Robert Peary (given as 'Rear Peary' in options) is credited as the first person to reach the North Pole on April 6, 1909, along with his assistant Matthew Henson and four Inuit guides. Columbus sailed to the Americas, Alexander was an ancient conqueror, and 'Mount beten' appears to be a garbled name, possibly meant to be 'Mountbatten' but incorrect.
