Answer: Option A. -> West to East
Answer: (a)
A geostationary satellite is an earth-orbiting satellite, placed at an altitude of approximately 35,800 kilometres (22,300 miles) directly over the equator, that revolves in the same direction the earth rotates (west to east).
At this altitude, one orbit takes 24 hours, the same length of time as the earth requires to rotate once on its axis. The term geostationary comes from the fact that such a satellite appears nearly stationary in the sky as seen by a ground-based observer.

Answer: Option B. -> finger print
Answer: (b)Dactylogram is simply a fingerprint. The word originates from the Greek word 'daktylos' which loosely translates to 'something written'. The study of fingerprints for identification purposes is called dactylography.

Answer: Option A. -> Kalpana Chawla
Answer: (a)
Kalpana Chawla was the first Indian American astronaut to go into space in November 1997 as part of the six-astronaut crew that flew the Space Shuttle Columbia flight STS-87.
Chawla was the first Indian-born woman and the second Indian person to fly in space, following cosmonaut Rakesh Sharma who flew in 1984 on the Soyuz T-11. She died during her second space mission aboard Space Shuttle Columbia in 2003.

Answer: Option D. -> wind energy
Answer: (d)The engineless airplanes, called gliders, depend totally on wind energy for their flight. Special surfaces on the wings of the planes can be manipulated by the pilot to change the way air flows around the wings, thereby controlling the lifts and the altitude of the plane.
