Jobs was diagnosed with a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor in 2003. The other options (brain, blood, heart) are factually incorrect. This cancer eventually led to his death in 2011.

Michael Dell famously suggested in 1997 that Apple should be shut down; Jobs led Apple's remarkable turnaround, eventually surpassing Dell in market cap. 'Won' refers to this vindication. However, 'face off where he WON' is ambiguous phrasing.

Steve Jobs was named Financial Times Person of the Year in 2010 for 'remaking three industries' with iPod, iPhone, and iPad. 2010 marked the peak of his post-return influence before his death in 2011.

The Big Bang theory explains that the Universe began in a hot, dense state and has been expanding ever since. It's supported by evidence like cosmic microwave background radiation, redshift of galaxies, and the abundance of light elements. Steady State theory (option B) proposed that the Universe has always existed and looks the same at all times, but this was disproven.

The Hubble Space Telescope was launched in 1990 through a collaboration between NASA (United States) and ESA (European Space Agency). NASA provided the spacecraft and its launch, while ESA contributed key instruments and scientific support.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), launched in December 2021, is designed to succeed Hubble. It observes primarily in infrared wavelengths, allowing it to see through dust clouds and observe the earliest galaxies in the universe.

The Hubble Constant (H₀) measures the rate of expansion of the universe. By knowing the expansion rate, scientists can estimate the age of the universe by running the expansion backwards in time. A higher H₀ implies a younger universe.
