Solution

The correct option is B
Jupiter, sun

Sun and Jupiter are extremely huge bodies due to which they exert strong gravity on the objects close to them. This gravitational force did not allow rocks to clump up to form a planet when our solar system was formed and hence, the asteroid belts were formed.
