The Jovian planets are
\sf\purple{Jupiter,\: Saturn,\: Uranus}
\sf\purple{and\:Neptune}.

These planets are much larger compared to the terrestrial planets (Earth, Mercury, Venus, and Mars).

They also lack solid surfaces and are large balls of gas composed primarily of
\sf\blue{hydrogen\:and\: helium}.

Many
\sf\pink{moons} and
\sf\pink{rings} orbit each of the Jovian planets.

They are located in the outer part of the solar system past
\sf\purple{the\:orbits\:of\:Mars }.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

You are talking mostly about Jupiter and Saturn.

a) They are huge, at least in comparison to earth.

b) Saturn if you had a big enough bath tub would float in the bath water. Those two are mostly gas and ice.

c) of all the planets in the solar system, these two have the most number of moons. So C is not right.

d) They are both located beyond Mars.
