The correct answer is option 4, India. India became the first Asian country to successfully orbit Mars with its Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) in September 2014. The Mars Orbiter Mission was launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and it successfully entered the orbit of Mars after a journey of about 300 days. This was a significant achievement for India`s space program as it made India the fourth country in the world to send a spacecraft to Mars, after the United States, Russia, and the European Space Agency. It demonstrated India`s capabilities in space technology and marked a major milestone in the country`s space exploration endeavors.
