Answer: The correct option is Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Venus is the second and Neptune is the last planet of our solar system.

Venus's atmosphere mainly consists of carbon dioxide with trace amounts of nitrogen, argon , helium and neon.

Neptune's atmosphere mainly consists of helium and hydrogen with 2.5 to 3% of methane gas in it.

From the above information, the correct answer comes out to be Option A.
