mars
B
mercury

venus
D
uranus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Venus’ thick atmosphere traps heat creating a runaway greenhouse effect – making it the hottest planet in our solar system with surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead. The greenhouse effect makes Venus roughly 700°F (390°C) hotter than it would be without a greenhouse effect.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mercury: The average temperature of Mercury is 167 degree Celsius. It is the first nearest planet from the Sun and the second hottest planet in the solar system.

Detailed explanation-3: -Venus is not the hottest planet in the universe. The hottest known planet is KELT-9b, which has a surface temperature of 7, 800 degrees Fahrenheit, or 4, 300 degrees Celsius, according to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology. It is 670 light-years from Earth.
