Solution
The correct option is B Mars
Mars is the fourth terrestrial planet from the Sun. It has always been regarded as the Red Planet since the ancient times, as it looks red and rusty. In fact, it was named after the ancient Roman god of war and bloodshed for the same reason.
However, the reddish-brown appearance of Mars is due to the presence of high amount of iron in its soil that has rusted over millions of years.
