Question
A Notable Success
Getting a lander to reach the surface of Venus is not easy. Getting it to survive for very long is impossible. The atmospheric pressure is 90 times that of earth. The temperature on the surface is about 457 °C (855 °F) - hotter than the oven in your kitchen. They say practice makes perfect, and the Soviets kept getting better. When Venera 13 pierced the atmosphere in March 1, 1982, a parachute opened to slow the descent. Then at 50km from the surface it| was released. Because of the thick, soupy atmosphere, no parachute was needed the rest of the way. This would be one of the Soviet Union's most notable successes in space.

A. "The temperature on the surface is about 457 degrees Celsius (855 degrees Fahrenheit) - hotter than the oven in your kitchen."
This statement best supports the claim that it is difficult for spacecraft to reach the surface of Venus, as it emphasizes the extreme conditions (high temperature) that make landing on the planet a significant challenge.
