Answer to Problem 1MC

Option (d)

Explanation of Solution

Stars are present in galaxies. The spaces between galaxies are mostly empty space.

These stars are not randomly nor uniformly distributed in the universe.

Thus option (d) is correct.

Conclusion:

Stars are present in galaxies. Thus option (d) is correct.

Since stars are not uniformly distributed in the space, option (a) is incorrect.

Since starts are not distributed randomly, option (b) is incorrect.

Stars are present outside the Milky Way also. Thus option (c) is incorrect.
