Answer

Brief Explanations:

The passage mainly talks about the James Webb Space Telescope's high - cost, launch time, and its purpose of helping to observe new planets and their atmospheres. Option C combines these key elements. Option A only focuses on the study of planets and atmospheres without mentioning the cost and the general idea of a new telescope going to space. Option B only gives the launch time. Option D has an incorrect launch time as the telescope was set to launch in 2018, not that it had already launched last year.

Answer:

C. Soon scientists will be able to see more planets and their atmospheres because a new telescope worth a lot of money is going up to space.
