Denebola is found in what constellation?
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.
