Answer 1

Answer:

a) With a robotic arm

Explanation:

On May 22, 2012, SpaceX launched their maiden flight to the ISS with a Dragon cargo capsule aboard the Falcon 9 rocket.

According to NASA's official website, NASA.gov, "the capsule [was] allowed to move close enough to the station for astronauts to grab it with the robot arm and connect it to the Earth-facing port of the Harmony module."
