Answer:

Planet A orbits faster than planet B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first option is not correct because the planet that is further away from the star orbits slower.

The second option is not correct because by having a much longer path to pass and also experiencing lesser gravitational pull, planet B is not having a shorter orbit.

The third option is correct because planet A is closer, thus has a smaller path to pass around the star, and the gravitational pull it expeiences is greater, so it orbits faster around the star.

The fourth option is not correct because the difference in distance from the star, as well as the length of the orbital path, don't allow the two planets to have equal orbital period.
