Solution

The correct option is D Venus
The planet Venus is the brightest among all the eight planets in the Solar System. It has thick atmosphere rich in carbondioxide which makes it highly reflective, hence making it the brightest planet in the night sky. This in fact, made ancient people to believe that Venus might be a star.
