<u>Answer: </u>The correct answer is Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A galaxy is defined as the huge collection of gas, dust and billions of stars along with their solar system. All these systems are held together by the gravitational attraction. For Example: Milky Way.

A solar system is defined as the collection of a star, planets along with their moons, satellites of the planets, asteroids, meteoroids and comets. In the solar system planets revolve around the Star. For Example: Our Solar System has a star named Sun and eight planets revolve around it.

Hence, the correct answer is Option C.

Balance the following oxidation-reduction reactions, which take place in acidic solution, by using the "half-reaction" method.
LuckyWell [14K]
First identify which is being oxidized and reduced. In this case, the Mg is being oxidized and the Hg is being reduced. 

Mg --> Mg+2 
 
<span>Hg+2 --> Hg+1 
</span>
Then you have to balance each half reaction first with electrons before adding them together in one equation

Mg ⇒ Mg^{+2}  +  2e^{-1}

and

2Hg^{+2} + 2e^{-1} ⇒ Hg_{2} ^{+2}
 
and then combine them together to form 

Mg + 2 Hg^{+2} + 2e ⇒ Mg^{+2} + 2e ^{-} + 2 Hg^{+1} + 2 e^{-}

It isn't necessary to keep the electrons but its essential to know how many there are in order to know how many are in the equation in order to calculate the reaction energy. Note: A<span>dd H+ and H2O to balance the H's and O's in acidic solution if needed.</span>
