Solution

The correct option is C Asteroid belt
The region of space between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter where most of the asteroids in our Solar System are found orbiting the Sun is called Asteroid belt.
Hence, the region H represents asteroid belt.

The Asteroid Belt is located in an area of space between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter; that places it between 2.2 and 3.2 astronomical units (AU) from the Sun. The belt is about 1 AU thick. The average distance between objects in the Asteroid Belt is quite large.
