Yes, I am sure that the correct answer is "Craters resulted when meteoroids crashed into the surface of the moon." This is a well-known scientific explanation for the presence of craters on the moon's surface. The moon has no atmosphere to burn up incoming meteoroids, so they collide directly with the surface, creating impact craters.
