Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is Venus. A planet is called a Jovian planet which is a gas giant, composed primarily of hydrogen and helium gas with varying degrees of heavier elements. Earth is a terrestrial planet, not a Jovian Planet. Within our Solar System, four Jovian planets exist – Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
Detailed explanation-2: -Gas giants, like Jupiter or Saturn in our solar system, are composed mostly of helium and/or hydrogen. Gas giants nearer to their stars are often called “hot Jupiters.” More variety is hidden within these broad categories.
Detailed explanation-3: -In this terminology, since Uranus and Neptune are primarily composed of ices, not gas, they are more commonly called ice giants and distinct from the gas giants.
