Look at the graphic and read the excerpt from Chapter Four of Windows to the Universe: Revolutions in Astronomy.One of the most significant challenges in JWST's design was ensuring the sunshield could unfold correctly after launch. It had to be folded precisely to fit into the spacecraft and then unfurl perfectly once in space—like a massive piece of origami. The success of this deployment was critical to the mission. When flight control confirmed it had unfolded correctly, the entire control room erupted in cheers!Which conclusion can best be drawn about JWST’s sunshield?
Answer
A
The sunshield is crucial for keeping the telescope's cameras clean from dust in space.B
The sunshield's ability to unfold correctly was critical because its multiple layers protect the telescope's instruments from heat.C
The sunshield was designed mainly to help JWST collect solar energy, which would then be used to power its instruments.D
The sunshield is difficult to deploy because it is made of a solid metal sheet that completely blocks all heat.
