Answer:

2. Saturn, along with Jupiter and Uranus, has rings that encircle the planet.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sentence with correct subject-verb agreement, the subject and the verb match in person (1rst, second or third person) and number (singular or plural). Therefore, sentence number 2 is the correct sentence because the subject matches in person and in number with the verb: The subject "Saturn" is in third-person singulars and so does "has".

In the other sentences, "Saturn" does not match the verb "rotate" (It should be "rotates" instead) and " Scientists" does not match its verb "has" (It should be "have" instead).
