Answer 1

The answer is B. to explore the Kupier Belt

Answer 2

The correct answer is option B, that is, to explore the Kupier belt.

Step-by-step explanation:

The MIRI or the Mid-Infrared Instrument possesses both a spectrograph and a camera, which observes light in the mid-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum, exhibiting the longer wavelengths that are generally not seen with the naked eyes.

The MIRI encompasses the range of wavelength in between 5 to 28 microns. The sensitive detectors present in them permits to observe the newly developing stars, the redshifted light of far-off galaxies, and faintly visible comets and the objects present in the Kupier belt.
