Answer:

d

Step-by-step explanation:

The four inner terrestrial planets are dense compared to the four outer planets. The inner planets are made up mainly of dense, solid rock. The outer planets are composed primarily of gas, so their overall density is lower. However, they are larger in size and much more massive!
