Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Answer: 1 – 2 – 3 – 4
Logical flow:
1. International space law governs satellite placement and liability. → Opening statement, introduces the topic broadly.
2. Treaties emerged during the Cold War to prevent militarization. → Gives the historical origin/background of this law.
3. New challenges include space debris and commercial mining. → Shifts to present-day problems not covered by those old treaties — natural progression from 'past' to 'present.'
4. Regulation needs adaptation to current realities. → Logical conclusion/call to action — since new challenges exist, the law must evolve.
