Three 5-point stars on insignia indicate which rank?

• A. General
• B. Major General
• C. Brigadier General
• D. Lieutenant General

Answer: (D)

In general officer insignia, the number of stars represents the rank level, with more stars signaling higher authority. Three five-point stars indicate the rank that sits above the two-star general and below the four-star general. That three-star rank is Lieutenant General. For reference, one star is Brigadier General, two stars are Major General, and four stars denote a full General. So three stars match the Lieutenant General level.
