Which aircraft uses the 20mm M61 Vulcan and has a 9,500 lb capacity?

• A. AV-8B
• B. F-15E
• C. F-16
• D. FA-18 Hornet

Answer: (C)

The main idea is recognizing which fighter is equipped with the 20mm M61 Vulcan rotary cannon. The M61 Vulcan is a compact, six-barrel 20mm gun used on several U.S. fighters, mounted internally in the fuselage. Among the options, the F-16 Fighting Falcon is the aircraft that commonly features this gun. The 9,500-pound figure describes its typical external stores payload capability, which matches what the F-16 is often described as able to carry. The AV-8B Harrier uses a different gun (not the M61), while the F-15E and F/A-18 also use variants of internal guns but the combination given in the prompt points to the F-16 as the correct match.
