Tempo verbal na lacuna.
A frase narra um fato passado: Travis 'was 18 when he completed' a volta ao mundo no ano passado. Com o 'when' no simple past, usa-se 'was'.
Análise das alternativas
B) 'had' não faz sentido com idade. C) 'has' e D) 'is' estão no presente e não combinam com o passado.
Referência: Simple past do verbo to be.
