Answer:

d. Uranus

Step-by-step explanation:

Uranus is the seventh planet of the solar system. It is a blue planet because of presence of methane in its atmosphere. It has 27 moons. Uranus axis of rotation is tilted to about 98°. This means that it is almost parallel with the plane of its orbit. No other planet has such a tilt. Earth is tilted to about 23.5°. Uranus rotates about its axis in about 17 hour and revolves about the Sun in about 84 years.
