Detailed explanation-1: -Distractors or alternatives are the answers other than the correct answer. Distractors should be plausible. Easy or silly distractors reduce the validity of the assessment. Distractors should all be roughly the same length and level of detail.

Detailed explanation-2: -Theory and analytical work on multiple-choice questions (MCQs) suggest that three options-one correct answer and two distractors-are optimal for the single-best answer format (Grier 1975; Lord 1944; Tversky 1964).

Detailed explanation-3: -Distractors are intended to distinguish between students who have not yet acquired the knowledge necessary to answer the item correctly from those who understand the content.
