Option B (“Madani Surahs”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Al-Fatiha. Option C (“Hadith”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Al-Fatiha. Remaining alternatives (Tafsir) fall outside the same rule and should be eliminated once Al-Fatiha is identified.
