What is the advantage of using a multi-stage rocket?
A
prettier to look at
B
they can carry more equipment
C
Easier to maneuver for the astronauts
D
Saves fuel and allows rockets to go farther into space
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Multistage rockets use the idea of keeping mass as low as possible. As soon as the fuel from one tank is used up, the fuel tanks and the rocket engine(s) for that tank are released. The remaining stage of the rocket now has less mass so less thrust is needed to accelerate it.

Detailed explanation-2: -The main advantage of a multiple-stage rocket is that, as the propellant is burned and expended, the structural “dead weight” of the empty tankage is discarded, thus making the entire rocket more efficient. This process of discarding discrete amounts of useless structural mass is known as staging.

Detailed explanation-3: -Because the amount of fuel it takes to launch a rocket is so high, modern rockets use a staging system. Once a stage has emptied out all its fuel, it detaches and returns to Earth so that the second stage can keep going without having to drag along the extra weight of the empty fuel tanks.

Detailed explanation-4: -Each stage can use different type of motor. The total weight of the rocket is reduce as the rocket rises. Multistage rocket has a bunch of thrust. The main advantage is that it drops useless weight and goes faster.
