Question 1485Navigation General

The correct answer is D) Venus. Inferior conjunction refers to the alignment of a planet with the Sun, where the planet passes between the Earth and the Sun. This is only possible for the inner planets, Mercury and Venus, as they are closer to the Sun than the Earth is. Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are outer planets, so they cannot have an inferior conjunction. The other options are incorrect because Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn can only have superior conjunctions, where the planet passes on the far side of the Sun from the Earth's perspective.
