Correct Answer:
D. Soviet Union
Explanation:
Rakesh Sharma made history as the first Indian citizen to reach space on April 3, 1984. He participated in a joint mission between the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and the Soviet Interkosmos program. Sharma traveled aboard the Soviet spacecraft Soyuz T-11, which launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome and docked with the Salyut 7 orbital station. During the eight-day mission, he conducted various scientific experiments alongside Soviet cosmonauts Yury Malyshev and Gennady Strekalov. Because the mission was a collaboration with the USSR using their launch technology and space station, the Soviet Union is the correct answer.
