The correct answer is: **It led to the creation of NASA and the National Defense Education Act.**

The launch of Sputnik in 1957 by the Soviet Union marked the beginning of the space race and prompted the U.S. to increase its investment in science and technology. This led to the establishment of NASA in 1958 and the National Defense Education Act, which aimed to improve education in science, mathematics, and foreign languages in response to perceived technological threats.
