	$\text{e}.$ Mars

• A. $\text{i}.\to \text{d}.$
  $\text{ii}.\to \text{e}.$
  $\text{iii}.\to \text{b}.$
  $\text{iv}.\to \text{a}.$
• B. $\text{i}.\to \text{e}.$
  $\text{ii}.\to \text{a}.$
  $\text{iii}.\to \text{b}.$
  $\text{iv}.\to \text{c}.$
• C. $\text{i}.\to \text{b}.$
  $\text{ii}.\to \text{c}.$
  $\text{iii}.\to \text{a}.$
  $\text{iv}.\to \text{d}.$
• D. $\text{i}.\to \text{a}.$
  $\text{ii}.\to \text{e}.$
  $\text{iii}.\to \text{c}.$
  $\text{iv}.\to \text{b}.$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\text{i}.\to \text{e}.$

$\text{ii}.\to \text{a}.$
$\text{iii}.\to \text{b}.$
$\text{iv}.\to \text{c}.$

• The tallest mountain in the entire solar system is located on the planet $\text{Mars}$: $\text{Olympus Mons}$, with a height of about $22\text{km}$ - about $2\frac{1}{2}$ times the height of Mt. Everest ($8.8\text{km}$).


• The smallest planet in the solar system is $\text{Mercury}$, with an average diameter of about $4,880\text{km}$.


• The planet with the lowest temperature in the solar system is $\text{Uranus}$, with an average temperature of about $-229{}^{\circ }\text{C}$.


• $\text{Pluto}$ is the dwarf planet with one of its moons being half its size. Charon is one of the five Plutonian moons whose diameter is almost half that of Pluto.
