Answer:The answer is A large planets only

Explanation:One theory is that the rings formed at the same time as the planet and its major moons. In this case, if material is close to the planet, the planet's gravitational pull is too strong to coalesce into a moon and the particles that would otherwise form a moon spread out in orbit around the planet as a ring.
