Solution
The correct options are
B Great Bear
C Ursa major
The Big Dipper, the Great Bear or the Ursa major appears like a big ladle or a question mark in the night sky. Ursa Major is primarily known from the asterism of its main seven relatively bright stars comprising the " Big Dipper" or "the Plough". Its shape is said to resemble either a ladle or an agricultural plough. In this context of Ursa Major, they are commonly drawn to represent the hindquarters and tail of the Great Bear. Starting with the "ladle" portion of the dipper and extending clockwise (eastward in the sky) through the handle.
