Adidas launched a signature collection named after Sania Mirza, recognizing her status as India's most successful female tennis player. While Bhupathi, Paes, and Amritraj are accomplished male players, Sania's global profile and market appeal made her the ideal choice for a branded collection.

Male sea catfish practice mouthbrooding - they carry fertilized eggs in their mouth to protect them until they hatch. This is a fascinating reproductive strategy found in certain fish species. The eggs are safe from predators and receive oxygenated water from the parent's mouth movements.

A capon is a rooster that has been castrated to improve the quality of its meat for food. This practice makes the bird grow larger and develop more tender, flavorful meat compared to regular chicken. Capons have been raised for centuries specifically for culinary purposes.

Demographers estimate that approximately 0.1% (or about 6-7% in decimal terms) of all humans who have ever lived are currently alive. This is because human population has grown exponentially, and the vast majority of humans who ever lived lived in earlier centuries with much smaller populations. Current population represents a tiny fraction of cumulative human history.

The nearest star (Proxima Centauri) is about 4.24 light-years away, which is approximately 25 trillion miles. Traveling at 100 mph, it would take roughly 29 million years to cover that distance. This calculation illustrates the enormous scale of interstellar distances and why space travel requires speeds far beyond conventional vehicles.

Mules have a reputation for being more sure-footed and cautious than horses or donkeys, particularly in difficult terrain. Their unique combination of horse and donkey genetics gives them different instincts and body distribution that may help them navigate unstable ground more successfully. This is why mules are historically preferred for mountainous trail work.

Certain frog species, like the wood frog, have evolved remarkable freeze tolerance. They produce special cryoprotectants (natural antifreeze compounds) that protect their cells during freezing. These frogs can survive being frozen solid for months and thaw back to normal functioning in spring - an extraordinary adaptation for cold climates.

The first gorilla born in captivity was Colo, born at the Columbus Zoo in Ohio on December 22, 1956. This was a significant milestone for zoo conservation efforts. Colo lived to be 60 years old and became famous as the first gorilla to thrive in human care, paving the way for better captive breeding programs.

Camel milk has a different protein structure and composition compared to cow, goat, or human milk, which makes it resistant to curdling under normal conditions. This unique property makes camel milk valuable in hot desert climates where refrigeration is limited. The milk can stay fresh longer without curdling or spoiling quickly.

This sequence follows the pattern: n! - 1, where n starts at 2. So: 2!-1 = 1, 3!-1 = 5 (but sequence shows 2), 4!-1 = 23 (but shows 6), 5!-1 = 119 (but shows 42). Actually, the pattern is each term is (previous term × next integer) - 1. More precisely: 1×2=2, 2×3=6, 6×7=42, 42×43=1806. The multiplier increases: ×2, ×3, ×7, ×43 where each multiplier is (previous term + 1).

The phrase 'one of' requires a plural noun because it refers to one person from a group. 'One of the boy' is grammatically incorrect - it should be 'one of the boys'. Option D correctly uses the plural form 'boys', while option A incorrectly uses 'among' and option B is missing 'the'.

Giraffes can actually survive longer without water than camels - up to several weeks in some conditions. While often cited as going longer than camels, this fact is more nuanced than commonly stated. Among the options, rats are surprisingly resilient but this is a trick question.

Dolphins sleep with one eye open due to unihemispheric sleep - only one brain hemisphere sleeps at a time. This allows them to maintain consciousness for breathing and predator detection while resting.

Insects are air-breathing invertebrate arthropods with well-defined segmented bodies (head, thorax, abdomen). They match this description perfectly. Gorillas are vertebrates, bacteria are not arthropods, and dinosaurs are vertebrates.

Certain snail species can enter dormancy (estivation) for extended periods, up to 3 years in some cases. This adaptation allows them to survive harsh conditions. The 3-year figure represents the upper end of documented cases.

Zeenat Aman was the first Bollywood actress to have a perfume named after her - "Zeenat" launched in 1976. This was a significant marketing milestone in Bollywood-branded merchandise. The other options (Shahrukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Sridevi) had perfumes or endorsements later, but Zeenat was the pioneer.

F C Kohli (Faquir Chand Kohli) was the first CEO of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and is widely recognized as the father of the Indian software industry for pioneering IT services exports in the 1970s. While N R Narayana Murthy founded Infosys and is iconic, Kohli predates him and established the foundation. Sabeer Bhatia (Hotmail) and Shiv Nadar (HCL) came later.
