Answer:

B. Their fast rotation rates result in centrifugal force.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The gas giant has a high mass and great gravitational attraction as that of the terrestrial planet thus has a higher rate of motion results in the generation of a centrifugal force that that ecert is strong enough to influence to protect them from the collapsing into a star.
  • The gas planet thus can escape the collapse or the collision to the star. And the potential difference is the energy that is being generated with the rise of the temperatures.
  • Thus the gas giant is also known as the failed stars.
