B Correct answer
Explanation

Roald Amundsen led the first expedition to reach the South Pole on December 14, 1911, beating Robert Falcon Scott's British team by about a month. Rear Admiral is a rank, not a person. Scott (option C likely misspelled 'Scott') was the second to reach. Sir Edmund Hillary was first to climb Everest, not the Pole.
