Answer 1

Hint: The huge and large collection of gas, dust, millions and billions of stars and their solar systems all held together formed by the gravitational attraction is the galaxy. Here we will define all the given terms and then will accordingly find out the correct option.

Complete answer:
The galaxy in which we live is the Milky Way which is a large barred spiral shaped galaxy. All the stars which we see during the night sky gazing are in our own Milky Way Galaxy. When we see our galaxy in an actually real dark area, it appears to be as the milky band of light in the sky and hence, it is called the Milky Way Galaxy.
The milky way galaxy is known as the Akash Ganga due to its appearance.
Saptarishi means the group of seven sages. The ursa Major is known as the saptarishi since it contains seven prominent stars.
The Indian name of the Andromeda galaxy is Vaikunth.
Hence, from the given multiple choices – the option D is the correct answer.

Note:
Know the concepts of the galaxies and its types properly and know the difference among its type. The Milky Way – the so-called supercluster of galaxies has been named “Laniakea” that means “Immense Heaven”.
