Correct answer

Voldemort split his soul into seven pieces and stored each fragment in a Horcrux to achieve immortality. Horcruxes are dark magical objects that contain a piece of a wizard's soul. The philosopher's stone is an alchemical object that grants immortality through the Elixir of Life, which Voldemort sought but never used. His wand and potions are unrelated to his soul-splitting practice.

Avada kedavra

Expecto patronum

Expecto Patronum is the charm that creates a Patronus, the only known defense against Dementors. The Patronus acts as a shield against Dementors by projecting positive emotions and memories. Imperio is one of the Unforgivable Curses for mind control, Avada Kedavra is the Killing Curse, and Petrify is not a standard spell name (the correct term is Petrificus Totalus for the Full Body-Bind).

Aurors are highly trained magical law enforcement officers who specialize in combating Dark wizards and Dark Arts. They are essentially the wizarding world's equivalent of elite police or counter-terrorism agents. Death Eaters were Voldemort's followers who practiced Dark Arts. Hufflepuffs and Slytherins are Hogwarts houses, not professions or groups dedicated to fighting Dark Arts.
