Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV
A. Venus — this matches III. Veiled Planet. Venus is wrapped in thick clouds of sulphuric acid that hide its surface from view.
B. Jupiter — this matches I. Gas Giant. The largest planet is made mostly of hydrogen and helium and has no solid surface.
C. Mars — this matches II. Red Planet. Its soil is rich in iron oxide (rust), which gives it a reddish colour.
D. Earth — this matches IV. Blue Planet. About 71 per cent of its surface is water, so it looks blue from space.
