Solution

The correct option is C X- Mars, Y- Venus, Z- Jupiter
The order of the planets in the solar system, starting nearest to the sun is Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
The Asteroids belt is present in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. So, “Z” is either Mars or Jupiter. Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. Therefore, we can say that “X” is Mars and “Z” is Jupiter.
Venus is the nearest planet to the Earth in the solar system.
Hence, “X” is Mars, “Y” is Venus and “Z” is the Jupiter.
