Explanation

China became the third country to land a probe on the Moon (after USA and USSR) with its Chang'e missions in the 2000s. India's Moon Impact Probe (MIP) was deployed in 2008 as part of the Chandrayaan-1 mission. The options Libya, Argentina, and Thailand have never landed probes on the Moon - they are not major spacefaring nations. Only a handful of countries (USA, USSR/Russia, China, Japan, India, and recently Israel) have achieved lunar missions.
