Read the passage: Quantum mechanics, a branch of physics that deals with the behavior of particles at the atomic level, often defies classical intuition. Concepts like entanglement suggest that the universe is far more interconnected than previously imagined. Question: Why does quantum mechanics 'defy classical intuition'?
ABecause it is too simple
BBecause it behaves differently from the large-scale world we expect
CBecause no one can understand math
DBecause it only applies to planets
✓ Correct Answer: B — Because it behaves differently from the large-scale world we expect
The passage suggests that at the atomic level, behavior differs from what our 'classical' or everyday experience leads us to expect.
