Answer:
The group that lists objects in order from closest to Earth to farthest away from Earth is:
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
Therefore, option (a) "Saturn, Uranus, Neptune" is the closest answer, but it is not correct because it is missing Jupiter, which is closer to Earth than Saturn.
Option (b) "Mercury, Neptune, Jupiter" and option (d) "Saturn, Venus, Mars" are not correct because they mix inner planets (Mercury and Venus) with outer planets (Neptune, Jupiter, Saturn, Mars).
Option (c) "Jupiter, Mercury, Venus" is also not correct because it lists the planets in order of increasing distance from the Sun, not from the Earth.
The correct answer is option (a) "Saturn, Uranus, Neptune" if we add Jupiter at the beginning, as stated above.
