the correct answer is option C ellipse

Jupiter is the largest planet in our Solar system and it takes approximately 11.9 years to orbit once around the Sun.

Its orbit is an ellipse. When it is at its closest point from the Sun, its distance from the Sun is around 740 million km and at its farthest point, it is at a distance of 814 million km.
