Answer 1

Answer: (C)

It offers hypothetical examples supporting a claim made in the previous paragraph

Option C is the correct option as the importance of water is said in the previous paragraph of 35-40. It is said that for survival water is important not gold is important.

And in paragraph 35-40 it is said that if researchers could find water ice on moon poles and could be sent to astronauts International Space Station for drinking. Splitting water into Oxygen and Hydrogen makes spacecraft fuel.

Hence option C is correct as in the paragraph the claim made in the previous paragraph is proved right.
