The rest mass of Higgs boson is estimated to be close to
A.0·5 MeV
B.900 MeV
C.100 GeV✓ Correct
D.1000 GeV
Explanation
The Higgs boson, discovered at CERN's Large Hadron Collider in 2012, has a measured rest mass of approximately 125 GeV/c². Among the given options, 100 GeV is closest to this value. (0.5 MeV ≈ electron mass; ~940 MeV ≈ proton mass; 1000 GeV is far higher than the Higgs mass.)
