The correct answer is A) To increase technological advancements and education in the interest of national security.

The other options of the question were B) To ensure that more businesses were created in an effort to prevent a recession. C) To provide an influx of currency into a weakened economy. D) To begin the design of the first multinational corporations, to encourage foreign investments in the domestic defense systems.

The US government wanted to increase federal funding after the launch of Sputnik "To increase technological advancements and education in the interest of national security."

Let's remember that we are talking about the Cold War years after the end of World War II in which the Soviet Union and the United States always competed in the arms race and the establishment of control in some territories. The Soviet Union tried to spread Communism in other nations and the United States tried to stop it with the policy of containment. The space race was also another issue that confronted the two superpowers. That is why when the USSR launched the Sputnik into space, the US government wanted to increase technological advancements and education in the interest of national security.
