D. Jupiter is the planet that still has its original atmosphere. Jupiter has a very strong gravitational field, which has allowed it to retain most of the gas from the original nebula that formed the solar system. The other planets listed have lost much of their original atmosphere due to various processes such as solar wind, atmospheric escape, or geological activity.
