Answer D .) to send a two-person spacecraft into orbit for two weeks.

It was a bridge program between Mercury and Apollo.​

Gemini in Latin means "twins" or "double", which reflected that the spacecraft would hold two astronauts.​

To demonstrate endurance of humans and equipment in spaceflight for extended periods, at least eight days required for a Moon landing, to a maximum of two weeks.​
