Deneb is found in what constellation?

A Ursa Major
B Pegasus
C Cygnus
D Andromeda
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Cygnus. Deneb is a bright star that is part of the constellation Cygnus, the Swan. Cygnus is one of the prominent constellations in the northern celestial hemisphere, easily recognizable by its distinct swan-like shape. The other answer choices do not contain Deneb. Ursa Major (the Big Dipper) and Andromeda are separate constellations, while Pegasus is a different constellation not associated with Deneb.
