UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B and C accurately describe how virtual laboratories extend learning opportunities in science education. They allow simulated experimentation, support safety with hazardous materials and offer access to remote learners. Statement D is false because ethical and safety considerations remain important, even in virtual settings where real-world implications are discussed. Therefore the correct combination is A, B and C only.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it lists only A and B as correct, omitting C. While A and B are true, statement C is also correct, since virtual labs are particularly valuable where physical labs are unavailable. Excluding C makes the description incomplete.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it groups A, C and D as correct and accepts D. Statement D wrongly implies that ethics and safety can be ignored, but these remain central in science education. Including D invalidates this option.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it lists B and C only and ignores A. Statement A is fundamental in defining what virtual labs are, so leaving it out weakens the conceptual explanation.

Option D:
Option D is correct because it brings together A, B and C, the three statements that highlight simulation, safety and access, while rejecting the misleading claim in D.
