Accepted Answer

The correct answer is C because statements I, II, and III are historically accurate while statement IV is incorrect.

Statement I is true as Kalpana Chawla was born in Karnal, Haryana. Statement II is true because she made her first space flight on the Space Shuttle Columbia mission STS-87 in 1997. Statement III is true because as a NASA astronaut, she underwent extensive training at NASA facilities, including the Kennedy Space Centre.

Statement IV is false because although Kalpana Chawla was responsible for deploying the Spartan Satellite using the shuttle robotic arm, she did not perform a space-walk to retrieve it. Due to a malfunction, the satellite had to be retrieved by two other crew members, Winston Scott and Takao Doi, who performed the manual space-walk.
