The correct response is:
**Craters resulted when meteoroids crashed into the surface of the moon.**
This is because the moon's surface is pockmarked with craters primarily due to impacts from meteoroids, asteroids, and comets over billions of years, as the moon has no atmosphere to protect it from these impacts.
