Solution
The correct options are
B Comets
C Asteroids
D Meteorites
In one, water-rich asteroids and meteorites impacted the infant Earth, distributing water across the planet by brute force. A more recent theory suggests that water molecules actually adhered to the surfaces of the interstellar dust grains that accreted to form the solar system. In that case, water accumulated simultaneously with the rest of the planet. And last, but not least, there are the comets.
