A Correct answer
Explanation

The first ARPANET message was 'lo', sent in 1969. The intended message was 'login' but the system crashed after the first two letters. 'Hello world', 'mary had a little lamb', and 'cyberspace, the final frontier' are all incorrect and popular culture references rather than historical facts.
