The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Juno is a NASA space probe launched in 2011 as part of the New Frontiers program.
Its primary mission is to study Jupiter in detail, including its composition, gravity field, magnetic field, and polar magnetosphere.
Juno is unique because it is powered by solar energy rather than the traditional nuclear-powered systems used for deep space missions.
This makes it the farthest solar-powered spacecraft ever sent from Earth.
Option (a) “Atomic powered submarine” refers to naval vessels, unrelated to Juno.
Option (b) “Hydrogen fuelled space craft” is incorrect because Juno does not use hydrogen fuel for propulsion or power.
Option (d) “Hydrogen fuelled submarine” is unrelated to space exploration.
The spacecraft’s three large solar panels provide the necessary power even at Jupiter’s distance, where sunlight is about 25 times weaker than on Earth.
