Here comes yesterday’s answer:
Which of the following events kickstarted the loss of Mars’ capacity for life and liquid water?
A. Major Impact Event
B. Loss of the Magnetic Field
C. Gamma-Ray Burst
D. Coronal Mass Ejection
This was…SpoilerB! The magnetic field protects planets from the solar wind and CME’s. The stronger the magnetic field is the more protection it has from its parent star’s flare ups. But one of the ingredients for a magnetic field is a molten core. Once the core solidifies, it weakens until it no longer exists. Without a magnetic field, radiation from the sun buffets the atmosphere of the unprotected planet and strips it away. Without sufficient atmosphere, there can be no liquid water. That’s most likely what happened to Mars.

D. Chrysippus
This was…SpoilerC! Diogenes was known for his biting insults. He was lounging one day and Alexander the Great approached and asked if he could do anything for him, to which Diogenes remarked “Yeah. Get out of my sun.” Alexander the Great thought it was quite funny. Another time, he was watching an archer struggle with his bow so he sat next to the target claiming it was the safest spot. He saw the child of a prostitute throwing rocks at a crowd, to which he said “Careful son. Don’t hit your father.”

Here comes yesterday’s answer:
Suppose we threw someone into a black hole. If we were observing from a safe distance, which of the following statements is most likely to be true regarding what we would see?
A. The victim would appear to accelerate faster and faster towards the black hole before being sucked in.
B. The victim would fall at a constant speed, but take on a blue tinge.
C. The victim would appear to slow down and turn redder and redder until they froze just above the event horizon and slowly vanished.
D. From our perspective, the victim would appear to be forever locked in an orbit just above the event horizon, when in reality they would have fallen in long ago.
this was…
SpoilerC! The victim would appear to slow to a stop just before the event horizon, and begin to turn redder and redder until they passed out of the visible light spectrum, but we would never see them fall into the black hole, nor would they blue shift to us, nor would they appear to be orbiting it.

Well, what made logical sense to me isn't one of your options, so let's start over.
I can honestly argue both the redshift and blueshift phenomena as well as the other scenarios within options B and C.
I know it can't be A. That's what happens, but not what we see.
D sounds almost right. I can see it appearing as if the person is frozen there from our perspective, but using the term "orbit" is throwing me off.
The more I think about it, the more C seems to make the most sense. The redshift from the light's elongating wavelength, as well as no longer being able to see the person get past the point where light can no longer escape the gravity.
My final answer is C.
