samples of soil and rocks suggest that mars was unlikely to ever have had water on its surface.
curiositys instruments found carbon - containing organic molecules and nitrogen in a form useable to life.
reconnaissance photos from the mars orbiter provided scientists with information on maneuvering curiosity to new locations.

Explanation:

The first option shows movement enabled by technology. The second shows sampling made possible by technology. The fourth shows analysis done by rover - borne instruments. The fifth shows how orbiter photos (a technological product) help with rover maneuvering. The third option is a scientific conclusion, not a description of how technology affected the mission.
