European Space Agency's main space port/(Launching Site) lies in :
Answer: A
The ESA's main spaceport is at Kourou, French Guiana.
The Guiana Space Centre at Kourou, on the north-east coast of South America, is Europe's spaceport, used for Ariane and Vega launches. Its position about 5° north of the Equator gives rockets an extra boost from the Earth's rotation, and the open ocean to the east and north makes launches safe.
The other places are wrong: Port Moresby is the capital of Papua New Guinea, CERN in Geneva is the particle physics laboratory, and Catania is a city in Sicily, Italy, with no launch site.
