Consider the logic here: Voyager entered the record book for being the first aircraft to circle the globe. Thus, becoming the ...... should be the fact happened before Voyager entered the record book.
B is wrong because " becoming" must be of the noun Voyager, not the circumnavigation.
C is wrong also because of illogical order of facts.
in D : as it uses "and" the verb "enter" must be "entered" instead of "entering" to maintain the parallelism.
I'm left with E.
*NOTE : a semicolon can also be used to separate closely related independent clauses, for example:
My grandmother seldom goes to bed this early; she's afraid she'll miss out on something.
. Then, it's D. Hik, I won't change my mind
