A. Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars

Terrestrial planets are Earth-like planets (in Latin, terra means Earth) made up of rocks or metals with a hard surface — making them different from other planets that lack a solid surface. Terrestrial planets also have a molten heavy metal core, few moons, and topological features such as valleys, volcanoes and craters.

Answer: A. Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars

The terrestrial planets in the entire solar system are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. These planets are characterized by solid and rocky surfaces. These planets are different from other planets because other planets don't have a hard surface.
