Correct:
A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 (a-2; b-3; c-1; d-4). This matching is accurate based on fundamental astronomical classifications:
- Shooting star (a-2): These are not stars but Meteors—small pieces of rock or dust that burn up upon entering Earth's atmosphere, creating a streak of light.
- Titan (b-3): It is the largest Satellite (moon) of Saturn and the only moon known to have a dense atmosphere.
- Saturn (c-1): It is the sixth Planet from the Sun, distinct for its extensive ring system.
- Halley's Comet (d-4): Named after Edmond Halley, it is a famous periodic Comet that orbits the Sun approximately every 76 years.
Options 2, 3, and 4 are incorrect because they misidentify these bodies; for instance, identifying Saturn as a meteor or Titan as a planet contradicts established scientific facts.
