Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

B is not true because the amount of craters does not indicate how powerful the magnetic field is, it indicates how much gravity there is.

C is not true because the dark spots are igneous rock, dried lava. That means that there WAS volcanic activity, in the past.

D is not true because the light spots on the moon are not ice, they are simply a lighter colored rock.

A is true because meteors will burn up in the atmosphere of planets because of friction, so not all the meteors will hit said planet. But if there isn't an atmosphere, all of the meteors will hit that planet. (or in this case, moon)
