Answer 1

The correct option is C between Jupiter and mars

There is a large gap in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter . This gap is occupied by a large number of asteroids that revolve around the Sun. This constitutes the asteroid belt.

Asteroids are small, rocky objects that orbit the Sun. Although asteroids orbit the Sun like planets, they are much smaller than planets. There are lots of asteroids in our solar system.
