D
Mars
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Density, mass and volume. Although Uranus, discovered in 1781, is only four times the physical size of Earth, it is significantly more massive, weighing in at 86 septillion kilograms (just under one trillion trillion trillion). That makes it more than 14.5 times as massive as our rocky home.

Detailed explanation-2: -With a radius of 15, 759.2 miles (25, 362 kilometers), Uranus is 4 times wider than Earth. If Earth was the size of a nickel, Uranus would be about as big as a softball. From an average distance of 1.8 billion miles (2.9 billion kilometers), Uranus is 19.8 astronomical units away from the Sun.

Detailed explanation-3: -Uranus is approximately 31, 000 miles (50, 000 kilometers) in diameter, or about four times the size of Earth. The Earth is approximately 7, 900 miles (12, 800 kilometers) in diameter, or about four times the diameter of the Moon, 2, 100 miles (3, 500 kilometers).

Detailed explanation-4: -This is an image of the planet Uranus taken by the spacecraft Voyager 2 on January 14th 1986 from a distance of approximately 7.8 milllion miles ( 12.7 million km ).
