About this MCQ
This Medium General Science and Nature MCQ checks one syllabus fact.
The question is: “What term is best described by the following? the farthest known planet from the Sun in the solar system.”
The accepted answer is D. Neptune. Neptune is the fact required by “What term is best described by the following? the farthest known planet from the Sun in the solar system.” (option D). Option A (“Jupiter”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Neptune. Option B (“Chlorophyll”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Neptune. Remaining alternatives (Plate Tectonics) fall outside the same rule and should be eliminated once Neptune is identified. General Science and Nature questions of this type reward precise definitions rather than approximate associations. General Science and Nature recall of this distinction is a regular item in FPSC, PPSC, NTS, and CSS papers.
