The other name for the planetary accretion model is the C) planetesimal assembly. This term is the most suitable answer because each of the other choices describes a different event or situation. The fractal assembly describes the DNA situation in biology. The solar nebular disk describes the sun evolution process and the molecular accretion describes a chemical situation.

The correct answer is option C, Planetesimal assembly

Accretion is the assembling of particle to form a massive object by virtue of gravitational attraction. Most of the celestial objects are formed by the accretion process. Planetesimals is an important step in the formation process of planet which involves the accumulation of dust and ice particles. Thus Planetary assembly work on the same principal of planetary accretion model and hence it can be stated as another name of planetary accretion model
