Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All the options listed are considered candidates for dark matter. Brown dwarfs and faint red stars are examples of MACHOs (Massive Compact Halo Objects), which are large, compact objects that could contribute to dark matter. Jupiter-size objects could also be considered under MACHOs. WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles) represent a different category of dark matter candidates, hypothesized particles that interact through gravity and possibly weak nuclear force but not electromagnetically, making them difficult to detect.
