Actually, the correct options are a and b.
Option a is correct: Sir Walter Raleigh was indeed charged with treason and eventually beheaded under the rule of King James I of England.
Option b is also correct: Sir Walter Raleigh led expeditions to South America in search of the fabled golden city of El Dorado.
Option c is incorrect: Sir Walter Raleigh did not lead expeditions to Asia or meet the Mongol empires or Kublai Khan. That was Marco Polo, an Italian explorer, who traveled to Asia and met Kublai Khan.
Option d is also incorrect: While Sir Walter Raleigh did participate in expeditions to the New World, specifically North America, he did not lead any expeditions to Florida in search of the fabled fountain of youth. That legend was associated with the Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León.
