To determine which of the activities is NOT mentioned in the passage regarding the activities performed by Apollo astronauts on the moon, we'll need to compare each option with the information provided in the passage.

Without the specific passage to reference, I can’t definitively identify which option is not mentioned. However, generally, these activities are all plausible given the context of Apollo missions:

  • A: Testing the speed of moon buggies in decreased gravity is a known activity from the Apollo missions.
  • B: Setting off explosives to measure seismic tremors is also a documented activity related to lunar seismic studies.
  • C: Using metal foil to catch solar wind particles (which were gathered by the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package) is another activity that was conducted.
  • D: Astronauts photographed the landscape of the moon is a common activity undertaken during lunar missions.

To conclude which option is NOT mentioned, check the passage for the specific activities listed. If you have the passage available and can share it, I could assist you further in identifying the correct answer.
