The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

NASA’s InSight lander detected the first-ever “marsquake” in 2019, providing direct evidence of seismic activity on the Red Planet. The tremors were believed to be caused by volcanic activity or shifts in the Martian crust, similar to earthquakes on Earth. This finding offers valuable insight into the planet’s internal structure and geological evolution.
Options (A), (C), and (D) are incorrect because the InSight mission is a NASA project dedicated to studying Mars’ interior.
