Which of the following statements about lights is best supported by the passage below (paragraph 25-26

Curiosity has; it uses them to illuminate samples and preform spectroscopy.However, these lights are turned on only when it's taking measurements. With no human instructions, it will have no reason to turn them on

Unless the have humans on board, spacecraft don't need a lot of lights. The Galileo probe, which explored Jupiter in 1990s, had several LEDs in the mechanism of its flight data recorder. Since the emitted infrared rather than visible light, calling them "lights" is a stretch and in any case,Galileo was deliberately crashed into Jupiter in 2003
