Answer 2

The event that most clearly prompted the US government to pursue the space race was the Soviet Union’s surprising launch of Sputnik into Earth’s orbit.

Hence, option B would be the right answer.

It was the cold war rivalry between the US government and Soviet Union and the space race was particularly done to uplift their superiority in the space.
