About this MCQ
This Medium Quran and Hadith MCQ checks one syllabus fact.
The question is: “What is the name for the longest chapter of the Quran?”
The accepted answer is A. Al-Baqarah. Al-Baqarah is the fact required by “What is the name for the longest chapter of the Quran” (option A).

Option C (“Sahih Bukhari”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Al-Baqarah. Remaining alternatives (Yasin) fall outside the same rule and should be eliminated once Al-Baqarah is identified.
