The correct answer is D) caused Congress to increase spending on teaching science and mathematics.

A result of the Soviet Union launching the satellite Sputnik in 1957 was that it caused Congress to increase spending on teaching science and mathematics.

Very few people in the United States believed that the USSR had the knowledge and technology to launch a satellite into space. Well, on October 4, 1957. It happened. The US government was scared to death because this represented a great advantage for the Soviet Union in terms of its rivalry with the United States. Indeed, that action started what later was known as the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union. So the federal government decided to found a federal agency dedicated to space exploration and Congress increased the spending on teaching science and mathematics in order to develop the same kind of technology that could put the US ahead of the Soviet Union. With this satellite on orbit, the USSR could use satellite technology to steal secrets from the federal government, the military, and corporate businesses.
