Explanation:

To determine which detail confirms Sonya's prediction that SpaceX works with the US space program, we analyze each option:

• "SpaceX was founded by entrepreneur Elon Musk": This is about the founder, not the US space program collaboration.
• "SpaceX is a privately owned aerospace company": This describes the company's ownership, not the collaboration.
• "SpaceX was chosen by NASA to work with the International Space Station": NASA is part of the US space program, and working with the ISS (a US - led space project) confirms the collaboration with the US space program.
• "SpaceX was the first private company to release a spacecraft into orbit": This is about a first - time achievement, not specifically about working with the US space program.

Answer:

The detail that confirms Sonya's prediction is: "SpaceX was chosen by NASA to work with the International Space Station."
