Answer: Option A,C and D.

Mercury, Earth and Mars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Inner planets are planets that are closer to the sun. Astronomers called them terrestrial planets because the are small,solid, have rocky surfaces, and have similarities with deserts and mountaineous areas of the Earth.

There are four inner planets and are arranged in order of distance from the sun, from closet to farthest. They are Mercury,Venus, Earth and Mars.
