Solution

The correct option is A millions of rocks and chunks of ice
Saturn is called the "Jewel of the Solar System" because its ring looks like a crown. The ring is made up of dust, rock, and ice accumulated from passing comets, meteorites impacts on Saturn's moons and the planet's gravity pulling material from the moons.
