The Nag missile uses a single-stage solid propellant motor, which provides consistent thrust and is ideal for tactical anti-tank missiles requiring quick readiness without complex liquid fuel handling. Solid propellants are storable at room temperature and allow for rapid deployment.

Microsoft's global headquarters is located in Redmond, Washington. The company was founded in Albuquerque, New Mexico but moved to its current Washington location in 1979. Texas is home to Dell's headquarters, California hosts Apple and Google, and Florida is not a major tech hub.

Whistler was the internal codename for Windows XP during its development phase. Microsoft uses codenames like Longhorn (Vista), Blackcomb (cancelled), and Vienna (7) for products under development. Windows 98 was Memphis and Windows 95 was Chicago.

The correct URL for Microsoft Support is support.microsoft.com. Microsoft uses subdomain structure where product and service names come before the main domain. Option C incorrectly places microsoft before support, while A and D are not Microsoft's standard format. The www prefix is optional but commonly used.

About 59% of the Moon's surface is visible from Earth due to a phenomenon called libration - the apparent wobble in the Moon's motion caused by its elliptical orbit and tilted rotation axis. This allows observers to see slightly beyond the 50% that would be visible if the Moon were perfectly tidally locked. The remaining 41% is permanently hidden from Earth's view.

Our Milky Way galaxy is a flat spiral galaxy with arms extending from a central bulge. It resembles a rotating pinwheel about 100,000 light-years across but only about 1,000 light-years thick. This flat spiral structure is typical of large galaxies, distinguishing them from elliptical (round ball), irregular (pretzel-like), or ring (doughnut-shaped) galaxies.

The average adult human head weighs approximately 4-5 kg (8-11 lbs), accounting for about 7-8% of total body weight. This includes the skull, brain, and other tissues. 4 kg is a reasonable approximation. 1.4 kg is too light for an adult head. The options in lbs are incorrect.

Pathology is the branch of medical science that studies diseases - their causes, nature, effects, and development. 'Morphology' studies the form and structure of organisms. 'Cytology' studies cells. 'Physiology' studies normal functions of living organisms, not diseases.

Ductless glands (endocrine glands) secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream. Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate body functions. 'Lungs' are respiratory organs. 'Salivary gland' and 'Sweat gland' are exocrine glands with ducts, not ductless.
