- D.

- E.
99999999999999 people
Correct Answer
D. A few hundred peopleExplanation
The correct answer is "a few hundred people." This suggests that it took a team of several hundred individuals to make the Mars rover possible. The answer options "two very smart people" and "a few thousand not so smart people" can be disregarded as they do not align with the idea of a team effort. The option "700-750 people" is close, but "a few hundred people" is a more general estimate that could encompass a range around 700-750. The option "99999999999999 people" is clearly an exaggerated and unrealistic number.Rate this question:
