Solution

The correct option is B outer
The belt of asteroids present between Mass and Jupiter separates the planets into inner (planets inside the band of asteroids) and outer (planets outside the band of asteroids) planets. Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars lie inside the band of asteroids and are called inner planets.
These planets are closer to the sun and are among warm planets and not among the gaseous planets.
