Solution
The correct option is A Ganymede
Ganymede is Jupiter’s largest moon and also the largest moon in the solar system.
It is the only moon with its own magnetic field. The magnetic field causes auroras, which are ribbons of glowing, electrified gas, in regions circling the moon’s north and south poles.
