(c). National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(d). National Aeronautics and Space Academy

Answer 1

- Hint: The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is an independent agency of the United States Federal Government responsible for the civilian space program.

Complete step-by-step solution -

Before going to the answer, we will study each alphabet in the “NASA” and try to exclude all the wrong possibilities of its expansion.
$m = \cfrac { F }{ a } $
Let us start with the alphabet “N.” According to the question, and it is undoubtedly expanded as “National.” National means a type of product/publication/company that is expanded across an entire nation. In other words, we can say National is concerned with or applicable to or belonging to an entire nation or country.
NASA is an independent agency of the United States Federal Government.
Alphabet “A”: Correction expansion here is Aeronautics. Aeronautics is the science or art involved with the study, design, and manufacturing of air flight–capable machines, and the techniques of operating aircraft and rockets within the atmosphere.
NASA is responsible for the civilian space program, as well as aeronautics and space research.
Alphabet “S”: Correct expansion is Space. NASA not only deals with the satellite program, but it is responsible for many space exploration research. Satellite launching is just a part of the extensive research executed in NASA.
Alphabet “A”: Correct expansion is Administration. NASA was established in 1958, succeeding in the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA).

Additional Information:
Since its establishment, most US space exploration efforts have been led by NASA, including the Apollo Moon landing missions, the Skylab space station, and later the Space Shuttle. NASA is supporting the International Space Station and is overseeing the development of the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle, the Space Launch System, and Commercial Crew vehicles. The agency is also responsible for the Launch Services Program, which provides oversight of launch operations and countdown management for uncrewed NASA launches.

Note: In case you do not know the correct option, especially in these types of questions, guessing the answers comes out to be useful in many cases. For example you can see the correct expansion occurs maximum times in the given options that are “Aeronautics,” “Space,” and “Administration.”
