Answer:

The correct option is option c.

Explanation:

Now the distance from Sun is the critical value here and the distance is smallest for Mercury thus the only possible option is option C.

The option a is not true as the distance of Mars from the Sun is too far to be the center cold.

The option b is not true as the distance of Earth is optimum

The option d is not true as the distance of Mars from the Sun is too far to be the center cold.
