Solution

The correct option is A Mercury

The smallest planet in the Solar System is Mercury. For the longest time, the smallest planet was considered to be Pluto, but now Pluto isn't a planet anymore, so we're back to Mercury. Mercury measures 4879 km along its equator. Just for comparison, Earth is 12,742 km across.
