Solution

The correct options are
B

Ursa Major, Cassiopeia


C

Cassiopeia, Orion


Ursa Major appears like a big dipper. There are three bright stars in the handle and four stars in the bowl of the dipper as shown in below figure.

Orion appears like a hunter. Three bright stars appear in the belt, while five bright stars are arranged in the form of a quadrilateral as shown in the below figure.

The constellation Cassiopeia is named after a vain and boastful queen from Greek mythology. It has a W shape, formed by five bright stars.


Alpha Centauri and Thiruvathira are stars, not constellations.
