Answer:

C. The solar system formed from space dust, after all.

Step-by-step explanation:

The topic sentence is:

  • Space exploration is not a waste of money.

We'd expect this passage to follow up on why investing in space exploration is a good use of money.

Here are the sentences that follow:

  • Rocket companies and astronaut training programs give high-paying jobs to skilled professionals.
  • The technologies they create helps people on earth daily.

This tells us that skilled space professionists are well-paid because the technologies they create help us daily. This is related to how space exploration is worth investing in.

  • The solar system formed from space dust, after all.

This sentence has no relation whatsoever to our topic. It does not relate back to the topic sentence.
