The goal of the Apollo program was to launch moon missions. Option A is correct.

The Apollo program was designed in order to land humans on the Moon and bring them safely back to Earth. Six of the missions (Apollos 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17) realized this goal. Apollos 7 and 9 were Earth orbiting missions to test the Command and Lunar Modules, and did not return lunar data.

This missions always sought to:

Establish the technology to meet other national interests in space.

Achieve preeminence in space for the United States.

Carry out a program of scientific exploration of the Moon.

Develop human capability to work in the lunar environment.
