SSC Selection Post 2023 PYQ — Question 40

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Pluto. 

A dwarf planet is a celestial body that orbits the Sun, has enough mass to assume a nearly round shape, but has not cleared its orbital path of other debris. Among the given alternatives (not listed here), Pluto is a well-known example of a dwarf planet. It was reclassified from a planet to a dwarf planet by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 2006. Other examples include Eris, Haumea, Makemake, and Ceres. Unlike major planets, dwarf planets share their orbital zones with other objects and lack dominant gravitational influence. Hence, if Pluto is among the options, it is the correct answer.
