b. It uses more powerful lenses than telescopes on land.

Answer: option c: It orbits beyond the Earth's atmosphere to avoid scattering of light.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hubble space telescope orbits Earth and sends images of distant objects. The images formed by Hubble are better than the optical telescopes used on land. This is because the Hubble telescope is a space telescope. Light from the distant objects when reaches the land telescopes transmits through atmosphere, where scattering occurs. Some the light rays bounce back. This is avoided by the space telescope Hubble.
