Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The theory that the Jovian planets formed when icy protoplanetary cores became massive enough to capture gas directly from the solar nebula.
A
Nebular Theory
B
Core-accretion Theory
C
Gravitational Instability Theory
D
Condensation Theory
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The nebular hypothesis is the idea that a spinning cloud of dust made of mostly light elements, called a nebula, flattened into a protoplanetary disk, and became a solar system consisting of a star with orbiting planets [12].

Detailed explanation-2: -The nebular hypothesis is the most widely accepted model in the field of cosmogony to explain the formation and evolution of the Solar System (as well as other planetary systems). It suggests the Solar System is formed from gas and dust orbiting the Sun which clumped up together to form the planets.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is the core accretion theory? Accretion theory explains how cosmic dust was drawn together to form planetesimals by gravitational forces. These planetesimals would form protoplanets which would accumulate more matter to build the planets in the solar system.
