In cycling, what is a 'peloton'?

Correct option is C

Correct Answer:(c) A group of riders in a tight pack during a race
Explanation:
In cycling, a peloton refers to a group of riders who ride closely together in a tight pack during a race. This formation helps reduce wind resistance and allows riders to conserve energy by drafting behind one another. It is commonly seen in professional cycling races like the Tour de France.
· The peloton allows cyclists to take advantage of the slipstream created by the riders in front, enabling them to maintain higher speeds with less effort.
Why the other options are incorrect:
· The finish line of a race: Incorrect; the finish line is the end point of the race, not the peloton.
· A cycling technique for climbing hills: Incorrect; the term "peloton" is not related to hill climbing techniques.
· The starting line of a race: Incorrect; the starting line is the point where the race begins, not the peloton.
