Which BEST summarizes this source?

A)
In 1932 Amelia Earhart became the first female pilot to fly alone across the Atlantic Ocean. Her first attempt to fly around the world was in March of 1937. It was unsuccessful, but she tried again a few months later with Fred Noonan as her navigator. They made contact with a Coast Guard ship, but no one ever heard from them again. Search efforts by the U.S. Navy uncovered nothing. No one knows for sure what happened. Many believe they ran out of fuel and died, and some even suspect she might have been captured by enemies of the United States.

B)
During a flight around the world, two pilots went missing. The U.S. Navy conducted a massive search for Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan that continued for more than two weeks. The Navy submitted a report following its search, which included maps of search areas. Neither the plane nor Earhart nor Noonan were ever found. No one knows for sure what happened, but many people believe they got lost and simply ran out of fuel and died. Amelia Earhart was almost forty years old.

C)
Amelia Earhart had a goal to achieve a transatlantic crossing alone. In 1927, Charles Lindbergh became the first person to make a solo nonstop flight across the Atlantic. In 1932, five years after Lindbergh's flight, Earhart became the first woman to repeat the feat. Now she wanted to achieve more. She decided that her next trip would be to fly around the world. In 1937 Earhart tried twice, but was lost at sea. She and her navigator Fred Noonan were never seen again.

D)
In June of 1937, pilot Amelia Earhart went to Miami to begin a flight around the world with Fred Noonan as her navigator. She left behind important communication and navigation instruments. Maybe it was to make room for additional fuel for the long flight. July 2, 1937 was the last time Earhart and Noonan communicated with a nearby Coast Guard ship. They were never heard from again.
