Answer 1

Cassiopeia constellation is located in the northern sky, and named as the Cassiopeia means the vain and the boastful queen in the Greek mythology. It was first catalogued by the Greek astronomer Ptolemy in the second century, along with the other constellations.

Complete step by step solution:
The Cassiopeia is easy to identify in the sky because it looks like the letter M or W. In the season of the winter, during evenings, these Cassiopeia can clearly be seen. At any time of the year these Cassiopeia are visible but when we use the Big dipper to find the Cassiopeia, during the winter season the Cassiopeia is visible for the eyes. In the letter M or W, there is a five corners, these five corners are the starts and it is named as alpha $\alpha$, beta $\beta$, gamma $\gamma$, delta $\delta$ and epsilon $\varepsilon$.

And these Cassiopeia are having the different names, $\alpha$ Cassiopeia is called as Schedar Cassiopeia, $\beta$ Cassiopeia is called as Caph Cassiopeia, $\gamma$ Cassiopeia is called as Gamma Cassiopeia, $\delta$ Cassiopeia is called as Ruchbah Cassiopeia and $\varepsilon$ Cassiopeia is called as Segin Cassiopeia.

Cassiopeia is the queen in ancient Greek mythology. According to history, Cassiopeia was more beautiful than the sea nymphs called Nereids. The god is so pleased, that all of the characters who lived with Cassiopeia were elevated to the heaven of the stars. According to history the Cassiopeia died in the winter season, so the Cassiopeia stars will be visible in the winter season.

Hence, the option (A) is the correct answer.

Note: Generally, Cassiopeia is the ancient queen, Cassiopeia and her daughter and some other people died in the war. God has taken these characters to the stars; from the death of the Cassiopeia the people worshiped the M or W shaped stars as the Cassiopeia.
