None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the outer solar system, the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn and the ice giants Uranus and Neptune have dozens of moons. As these planets grew in the early solar system, they were able to capture smaller objects with their large gravitational fields.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are 171 moons, or natural satellites, orbiting the planets in our solar system; Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune have 1, 2, 66, 62, 27, and 13 moons, respectively. The following is a list of some of the major planetary moons, including those of the dwarf planet Pluto.

Detailed explanation-3: -The James Webb Space Telescope’s infrared instruments are capable of providing astronomers with their best look yet at the composition and motion of the outer planets’ rings. In visible light, the rings of Uranus, Neptune, and Jupiter are dark and indistinct, but they shine more clearly in infrared light.

Detailed explanation-4: -The outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are large balls of gases with rings around them. All eight planets travel around the Sun in a different orbit.

Detailed explanation-5: -) In contrast, the four outer planets, also called the Jovian, or giant, planets-Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune-are large objects with densities less than 2 grams per cubic cm; they are composed primarily of hydrogen and helium (Jupiter and Saturn) or of ice, rock, hydrogen, and helium (Uranus and Neptune).…
