About this MCQ
This Hard Science and Inventions MCQ checks one syllabus fact.
The question is: “Identify the correct term described as: the molecule that carries genetic instructions in living organisms.”
The accepted answer is C. DNA. “Identify the correct term described as: the molecule that carries genetic instructions in living organisms.” is answered by DNA (option C). Option A (“Archimedes”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of DNA. Option B (“Water (H2O)”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of DNA. Remaining alternatives (The Wright Brothers) fall outside the same rule and should be eliminated once DNA is identified. Science and Inventions questions of this type reward precise definitions rather than approximate associations. Science and Inventions recall of this distinction is a regular item in FPSC, PPSC, NTS, and CSS papers.
