Explanation:

First Question (Mission to Saturn)

The Cassini mission was dedicated to studying Saturn, its moons, and rings by orbiting Saturn. Apollo missions focused on the Moon, Opportunity and Spirit (Spirit and Opportunity) were Mars rovers. So the correct option is the one related to Cassini.

The Sun formed from a giant molecular cloud (nebula) containing ice, dust, rock, and gases (the solar nebula). The other options: the Sun is the first star of the solar system, it formed about 4.6 billion years ago, and nebula fragments collapsed (not expanded) and heated up (not decreased in temperature) during formation. So the correct statement is about forming from a gigantic cloud of ice, dust, rock, and gases.

Answer:

A. Cassini mission
