PLEASE HELP ASAP !!
Jasmine is late to science class and misses the very beginning of notes for the day. These are Jasmine’s notes:

–Round objects that orbit the Sun
–Not large enough to have enough gravitational pull to clear the path of their orbit
–4 known in the Kuiper Belt (Eris, Haumea, Makemake, and Pluto)
–1 in the asteroid belt (Ceres)

Jasmine later copied the title of the notes from a friend. What title did Jasmine most likely copy?
A. Comets
B. The Kuiper Belt
C. Asteroids
D. Dwarf Planets

Respuesta :

Answer: D. Dwarf Planets

Explanation:  

Dwarf planets have round shape and orbit the sun. They do not clear their orbits  due to smaller gravitational pull and hence, cannot be classified as a planet. A dwarf planet may or may not have moons. Dwarf planets are smaller in size than planets.

Pluto was once classified as planet but was demoted to dwarf planet as many other similar sized objects were found in its neighborhood in Kuiper belt (Eris, Haumea, Makemake) . One dwarf planet is present in asteroid belt as well. It is the largest object in the asteroid belt.

Answer:

it is D for sure
