Answer:

C) planets

Step-by-step explanation:

In english grammar, an antecedent gives meaning to a word called "proform" that substitutes for other words, in this case the word Which is a proform that substitutes for planets, because it is asking which "planet" of the planets did the team of astronomers study for their report.
