Answer: A

This question is hard! Your teachers aren't playing lol

Okay so considering the planet is right on the 500 mark and it is said to be full of iron, but the only option that has iron has oxygen and that is at the other end of the spectrum. Based on all the other answer chooses being completely unlikely, I am pretty confident that your answer is A
