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.
