Answer 1

Hint: In order to answer this question you should know that there is a difference between landing on the moon and going to space. So, the first person to go to space is different from the person who lands on the moon.

Complete answer:
Neil Armstrong was the first man to land on the Moon on July 21, 1969. This date is as per the Indian Time.
As per the United States time it was on July 20, 1969, on this very crucial date in human history Neil Armstrong became the first human to step on the land of the moon. He and Aldrin walked there for around three hours. They did some experiments.

There was a history behind the idea which made Neil Armstrong to become the first man to step on the moon and it was started in 1961. It was the time when the president of the U.S.A. was John. F. Kennedy. The President wanted to land humans on the surface of the moon. At that time The United States had just started trying to put people in space. But was actually NASA ready to go to the moon? The president and NASA knew that they could do it and would land on the moon. They were actually ready to put people on the moon and Apollo 11's mission was to land men on the moon.There were two men in that mission. They also had to return to Earth safely.

We know that Neil Armstrong, Aldrin and Michael Collins were the astronauts on Apollo 11. After four days, they landed on the moon and they landed in the Lunar Module. It was called the Eagle. Collins stayed in orbit around the moon. He did experiments there and took some pictures. They put a U.S. flag on the moon. The two astronauts returned to orbit, joining Collins. On July 24, 1969, all three astronauts came back to Earth safely.

Therefore, option (C) is the correct answer.

Note: We know that Apollo 11 was the name of the spaceflight that first landed humans on the Moon and Commander Neil Armstrong and lunar-module pilot Buzz Aldrin—formed the American crew that landed on the moon. Hence, Armstrong became the first person to step on the moon and Aldrin joined him 19 minutes later. So, Aldrin became the second person to land on the Moon.
