Answer: d) No manmade objects can be viewed from the moon

According NASA’s website, while many manmade objects can be viewed from space, most notably cities at night, nothing created by humans can be viewed from the moon. It is a myth that the Great Wall of China is the only manmade object visible in outer space. While the wall can be viewed, it is more difficult to see than the ancient pyramids at Giza, Egypt.
