Correct option is C

The correct answer is: (C) India

India became the first Asian country to enter the Mars orbit in its first attempt with its mission Mangalyaan or Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM). This milestone was achieved on September 24, 2014, when the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully inserted Mangalyaan into Mars' orbit, making India the first country to do so on its maiden attempt.
This achievement also made India the fourth space agency in the world, after NASA, the Soviet Space Program, and the European Space Agency, to reach Mars.
  • ​India’s success with Mangalyaan was a remarkable achievement for space exploration and a significant moment in ISRO’s history.​
