Read the passage: "In August 2023, India's Chandrayaan-3 lander touched down near the Moon's south pole, a region no spacecraft had landed in before. The success showed that a carefully planned mission could achieve a great deal on a modest budget." What made the landing special?
Correct answer: A. It was the first landing near the Moon's south pole.
The passage says no spacecraft had landed in the south-polar region before. Moon landings themselves had happened since the 1960s.
