Options:

Platitude

Correct Answer:

Zodiac

Explanation:

- Zodiac:  "A diagram showing the path of planets" is "Zodiac." The zodiac refers to the belt or imaginary band in the sky that encompasses the apparent paths of the Sun, Moon, and major celestial bodies, including planets. It is divided into twelve equal parts or signs, each associated with specific traits and characteristics. A diagram showing the zodiac would illustrate the positions and movements of celestial bodies along their respective paths in the sky.

- Horoscope: A horoscope is a personalized astrological forecast or prediction based on the positions and aspects of celestial bodies, such as the Sun, Moon, planets, and other astrological points at the time of a person's birth.

- Planetarium: A planetarium is a specialized facility or space that is designed to simulate and present the appearance and motion of celestial objects, particularly stars, planets, and other astronomical phenomena.

Platitude: A platitude refers to a statement or remark that is overused, unoriginal, and lacking in depth or thoughtfulness. It is a cliché or a trite expression that may sound comforting or meaningful at first glance but ultimately lacks originality or substance.
