Which one of the following pairs is not correctly matched? Recent Scientific Achievements The Country

Option (2) is incorrect because the first widely reported creation of human embryos by cloning was achieved by Dr. Hwang Woo‑suk and colleagues at Seoul National University (South Korea) in the early 2000s, not Germany; contemporary reports describe creation of cloned human embryos and extraction of embryonic stem cells from that work [1]. The other pairs match known achievements: NASA’s Deep Impact mission (USA) guided an impactor to collide with comet Tempel 1, and Japan’s Hayabusa program successfully landed on and sampled asteroid Itokawa—so option (2) is the mismatched pair.
