(d) A space-craft with a mechanism which would check asteroids from hitting the earth.

A 'Gravity tractor' (GT) is a spacecraft with a mechanism that can deflect another object in space without physically contacting it. It will use only its gravitational field to transmit the required impulse. It can affect a potentially hazardous asteroid that might hit earth.
