Solution

The correct option is D Meteorites
Meteors are small celestial objects that occasionally enters the earth’s atmosphere and are commonly called shooting stars. Due to its high speed and friction with the atmosphere, it heats up and glows and evaporates quickly. After burning up, few meteors do not get completely evaporated and are called meteorites. Scientists investigate the meteorites to find the nature of the material from which the solar system was formed.
