Explanation for the correct answer:

Jupiter:

1. Jupiter is the biggest planet in our solar system as it is the biggest of all planets in mass.
2. The mass of Jupiter is $1.89\times {10}^{27}kg$, and the volume is $1.43\times {10}^{15}K{m}^3$
3. The surface area is $6.14\times {10}^{10}K{m}^2$, and the mean circumference is $4.39\times {10}^{5}Km$.
4. Jupiter's diameter is almost $11$ times the earth’s diameter.
5. Jupiter's diameter is $139,820km$
6. Thus, the biggest planet in our solar system is Jupiter.

1. Neptune diameter is $49244km$.
2. Which is less than Jupiter's.
3. Thus, option A is incorrect.

In case of option B.

2. Which is less than Jupiter's.
3. Thus, option B is incorrect.

In case of option D.
