Beyond Neptune's orbit is the Kuiper Belt. It's a high traffic area, to say the least. Several

hundred thousand KPOs orbit the Sun there. A KPO, which stands for Kuiper Belt Object, is
larger than 20 miles across. Pluto is 1,473 miles in diameter and also orbits the Sun in the
Kuiper Belt. Pluto is a dwarf planet because it's much smaller than a planet. Even though
Pluto is smaller than Earth's moon, it has five moons of its own. It takes Pluto 248 years to
orbit the Sun.

The answer is “A”, you can rule out B and C because in the passage it says “beyond Neptune” and for C it talking about Pluto, but the question is about the Kuiper belt.
