Solution

The correct option is B outer
A belt of asteroids is present between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. This belt separates the planets into inner planets and outer planets. The planets before the belt of asteroids are called inner planet and the ones outside are called outer planets. Therefore, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are called outer planets.
