Denebola is found in what constellation?

A Aquila
B Centaurus
C Hydrus
D Leo
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Leo. Denebola is a star located in the constellation Leo, which is one of the 88 modern constellations recognized by the International Astronomical Union. The name "Denebola" comes from the Arabic phrase "Al-dhanab al-asad," meaning "the lion's tail." This star is the second-brightest in the Leo constellation, after Regulus. The other answer choices are incorrect because Aquila, Centaurus, and Hydrus are different constellations that do not contain the star Denebola.
