Question

Identify the statement which cannot be accepted:

• A. Odyssey is an ancient epic
• B. Human race will become extinct sooner or later
• C. The earth revolves around the sun in 366 days
• D. Almost one third of the human body is made up of water

Hint:

For fact-based questions, always verify scientific data before choosing an answer.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Option (a) is correct — "Odyssey" is indeed an ancient Greek epic attributed to Homer.
Step 2: Option (b) can be philosophically or scientifically accepted — extinction is considered a possibility in evolutionary theory.
Step 3: Option (c) is incorrect — the Earth revolves around the Sun in approximately 365.25 days, not 366 days. 366 days occur only in a leap year as the number of days in the calendar, not as the orbital period.
Step 4: Option (d) is factually correct — about 60–70% of the human body is water, and approximately one-third is still accurate in certain descriptions.
Therefore, the statement that cannot be accepted is option (c).
