Answer: Option D

Explanation: Jupiter is one of the gaseous planets in our system, and it also is the most massive planet in our solar system, It is estimated that the mass of Jupiter is around 2.48 times the mass of all the other planets together.

Adding the satellites of each planet that number can change slightly downwards, and looking at the options, the only one that is close to that number is the option D: 2.5 times the mass of all the other planets and their moons
