Answer

The answer is C. In 1903, their achievement of the first powered, controlled, and sustained flight in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, earned them worldwide recognition.

Explanation
Option A: In 1903, they achieved the first powered, controlled, and sustained flight in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, a feat that earned them worldwide recognition.

This option is the original sentence. While it is clear, it can be improved for conciseness and clarity by focusing on the achievement itself.

Option B: Achieving the first powered, controlled, and sustained flight in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, in 1903 earned them worldwide recognition.

This option is grammatically correct but slightly awkward due to the placement of the year "in 1903," which disrupts the flow of the sentence.

Option C: In 1903, their achievement of the first powered, controlled, and sustained flight in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, earned them worldwide recognition.

This option is the best choice as it clearly and concisely emphasizes the achievement and its significance, while maintaining a logical flow of information.

Option D: The first powered, controlled, and sustained flight in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, in 1903, earned them worldwide recognition.

This option is also grammatically correct, but it lacks the introductory context provided by the year "In 1903," which helps to set the historical context more effectively.
