D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It is the first of the four “gas giant” planets in proximity to the Sun. Jupiter has 300 times the mass of Earth, but is less dense. It is by far the largest planet in our solar system and has 2 1/2 times the mass of all the solar system’s planets put together.

Detailed explanation-2: -Jupiter is 90% hydrogen1, with 10% helium and a sprinkle of all the other elements. In the gas giant’s outer layers, hydrogen is a gas just like on Earth. As you go deeper, intense atmospheric pressure gradually turns the gas into a dense fluid.
