Hi there!

It is C. It isn’t large enough...

Why isn’t Pluto a planet anymore?:

Pluto has only one reason for not being a planet..

It is just too small...

Pluto is now a dwarf planet since it did not meet the three criteria the IAU uses to define a full-sized planet. This means that it doesn’t have the right for people to go on it and it is too small to be also a planet.

Since it‘s too small, it can‘t clear its path and most people can’t even see clearly.

The answer would be A and or C because it crosses into Neptune’s orbit and it is also classified as a dwarf plant

Hope this helps

Have a great day/night
