The original Avengers team in 1963 consisted of Ant-Man, the Wasp, Thor, Iron Man, and the Hulk. Captain America joined later in issue #4. The other options list heroes who were either never founding members or joined much later.

The Martian Manhunter is the correct answer. He has been a member of the Justice League across all its incarnations from the original JLA through JLA Detroit, JLA Task Force, and Max Lord's JLA. While Batman and Superman are founding members, the Martian Manhunter's consistent presence through all versions is the key.

In Marvel's Civil War storyline (2006-2007), the superhero community was split over the Superhuman Registration Act. The two opposing sides were led by Iron Man (Tony Stark), who supported registration, and Captain America (Steve Rogers), who opposed it. This central conflict drove the entire event.

This is a duplicate of question 39588. In Marvel's Civil War storyline, the two factions were led by Iron Man (pro-registration) and Captain America (anti-registration). This conflict split the superhero community and remains one of Marvel's most significant storylines.

Lumos is the basic charm that causes the tip of the wand to emit light, functioning like a flashlight. It is one of the first spells taught to young wizards and is used frequently throughout the series. The other options are different: Locomotor Mortis locks legs, Obliviate erases memories, and Incendio produces fire.

Relashio is the spell that releases red sparks from the wand end, typically used as a signal or distress call.

Reparo repairs objects, Riddikulus transforms boggarts, and Rictusempra causes tickling.

Prior Incantatus is the spell that reveals the most recent spell cast by a wand, essentially a magical forensic tool. It was used in Goblet of Fire to examine Harry's wand. Petrificus Totalus is the Body-Bind Curse, Obliviate erases memories, and Riddikulus is used against boggarts.
