The correct option is B Asteroids
There is a large gap between the orbits of the planets Mars and Jupiter. A large number of small objects occupy this space and revolve around the sun. These objects are called as asteroids and all the group of the objects in this region is called as asteroid belt. Meteoroids are chunks of matter originated from asteroid belt.
Comets do revolve around the sun but they are very far away compared to asteroids and are not present in the asteroid belt region.
