• B. It is the most distant planet from the Sun.

• D. It is an ice planet with rings.

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

It is smaller than Neptune.

Uranus, named after the ancient Greek god of sky, is the seventh planet from the Sun. It is a giant ice planet about $4$ times bigger than Earth with $27$ moons. The planet has thin rings only visible through a telescope, and its axis is highly tilted ($>{90}^{\circ }$).
However, Neptune is the most distant planet from the Sun, and is smaller than Uranus.
