I am pretty sleepy so please forgive anything silly in my post.
Ok. So I removed A, B and D because of sub-verb agreement. With "spacecraft", we should have "ventures". Out of C and E, I chose E because Mars is kept near to ", a planet...".
I didn't use any high funda logic for this SC. May be I am wrong
Please provide the OA.
Thanks
