D Correct answer
Explanation

Valentina Tereshkova is famous for being the first woman to fly in space, a feat she achieved in 1963 aboard Vostok 6. None of the specific geographical achievements listed (English Channel or the Poles) apply to her. Therefore, 'none of these' is the correct choice as her primary claim to fame is space exploration.
