He appropriate answer is a. the nebular theory. A nebula is a cloud of dust and gas in space that is usually the birthplace of stars and in turn planets. A nebula can be formed from the remnants of a super nova explosion. gravity causes particles to coalesce and over millions of years the process of nuclear fusion is triggered...forming a star. After the formation of a star, the star's gravity will cause proto planets to form.
