NASA assigned 32 American astronauts to the Apollo lunar program and 12 walked on the moon and Buzz Aldrin was one among them.
Buzz Aldrin joined NASA as an astronaut in1963. And Apollo 11 was the mission where he landed on the moon.
Apollo 11 was launched on July 16, 1969 and it landed on the moon on July 20,1969.
Neil Armstrong was the first person to walk on the moon on 20 July 1969, 19 minutes later Buzz Aldrin set his foot on the moon on July 21 1969(UTC) and Pete Conrad was the third person to touch the surface of the moon.

And Gemini 12 was another space mission where Aldrin was involved and made three spacewalks in that.

Option C is also incorrect as Neil Armstrong was the first person to touch the surface of the moon.
Option D is also wrong, as he was not an astronaut but British explorer and navigator.
