Explanation:

NASA articles about Apollo 11 typically aim to inform (share facts, mission details) and may also entertain with engaging mission narratives. "Team Moon" (from the excerpt) has a narrative style (e.g., "Sixty seconds!" drama) to entertain while informing about the mission. The second option matches: NASA to inform, Team Moon to entertain and inform. Other options are incorrect (e.g., first swaps purposes; third says NASA persuades, which is untrue; fourth limits Team Moon to only inform, but its style entertains too).

Answer:

B. The NASA article is meant to inform, while Team Moon is meant to entertain and inform.
