Answer: B

Correct answer: Probably true

The passage says space probes carry a large variety of the latest scientific instruments on board and that they have sent back close-up pictures and other data. Craft that must operate unattended and transmit data across such distances would need computers, and the reference to the latest instruments points the same way - but the passage never actually says the word, so this is a reasonable inference rather than a stated fact.
