Solution

The correct option is B Mercury
Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun. The planet probably received this name because it moves so quickly across the space. Temperature variations on Mercury are the most extreme in the solar system ranging from 90 K to 700 K. Mercury is the second densest major body in the solar system, after Earth.
