Answer: B) Jupiter and the sun have a similar composition.

Explanation:The only significant difference between the sun and Jupiter is in the sizes i.e jupiter is smaller compared to the size of the sun.

However their similarities is in their composition i.e what they are made up (helium and hydrogen).

The core of Jupiter is made up of liquid metallic hydrogen and the sun's core or center is also made up 34% mass plasma of hydrogen.

So option B (Jupiter and the sun have a similar composition) best describes the relationship between Jupiter and the sun.
