B

C

D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -They differ from bombs because bombs do not propel themselves through the air, while rockets do. Yet they also differ from missiles in that they do not have internal guidance systems of any kind to help direct them to their intended targets.

Detailed explanation-2: -Missiles generally have one or more explosive warheads, although other weapon types may also be used. The warheads of a missile provide its primary destructive power (many missiles have extensive secondary destructive power due to the high kinetic energy of the weapon and unburnt fuel that may be on board).

Detailed explanation-3: -Rocket is a general term used broadly to describe a variety of jet-propelled missiles in which forward motion results from reaction to the rearward ejection of matter (usually hot gases) at high velocity. The propulsive jet of gases usually consists of the combustion products of solid or liquid propellants.

Detailed explanation-4: -A rocket consists of three basic elements, the low explosive propellant tube, a high explosive warhead and stabilising fins. The propellant tube serves as the propulsion motor during the flight which cannot be altered once fired.
