Solution

The correct option is D Asteroids
Small, airless rocky bodies revolving around the sun between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter that are too small to be called planets are asteroids. They are also known as minor planets. Asteroids are leftovers from the formation of solar system. Mass of asteroids is less than that of Earth’s moon. But asteroids can be dangerous. Many asteroids have hit the Earth in the past and more will hit in the future.
