The correct answer is option C, that is, outer planets.  

In the given case, the heavenly body that is referred is Jupiter. It is about 5.2 astronomical units away from the Sun and is categorized under the outer planets. The Kuiper belt is approximately 50 astronomical units away from the Sun, on the other hand, the asteroid belt is about 3.2 astronomical units away from the Sun.  

In the case of inner planets, that is, the Earth, Mars, Venus, and Mercury, they are 1, 1.5, 0.7, and 0.39 astronomical units away from the Sun.

NemiM [27]

The property rights approach to environmental issues often becomes highly relevant in cases involving endangered species.

The approach based on property rights postulates that if exclusive property rights are correctly established, the public good of maintaining high environmental quality may be converted into a private good, and the best possible distribution of environmental resources will be accomplished.

The protection of people's property rights is an efficient method for preserving and rehabilitating endangered animals. It is more likely that recovery will occur if these animals are owned by someone who will benefit in some way from their growth. But if endangered species are nothing more than a burden, any kind of financial incentive to preserve them is met with fierce opposition.

What is the difference between a bony fish and a cartilaginous fish?
blondinia [14]
Bony fish belong to Class Osteichthyes, while cartilaginous fish belong to Class Chondrichthyes. Bony fish have a bony skeleton, while cartilaginous fish have one composed mostly of cartilage. Bony fish have body coverings of scales, while cartilaginous fish are covered with dendritical projections (think shark skin).
Bony fish are found in fresh and salt water; cartilaginous fish are found only in salt water. Bony fish have gills covered by an operculum; cartilaginous fish have gill slits. Bony have no eyelids; the cartilaginous fish do. Bony fish have an air-filled swim bladder; cartilaginous fish have an oil-filled liver to keep them bouyant. Hope this helps! Whew!

Earth’s polar caps quickly losing ice. Coral reefs bleaching to a chalky white. Stronger storms devastating islands and cities, claiming lives and destroying homes. Those aren’t claims of what our world faces in a warmer future. Those climate change impacts are already happening — and due to worsen. That’s the finding of a new report from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC. The United Nations issued a summary of the new assessment on September 25. It’s the panel’s first comprehensive update on how human-driven climate change is upsetting not only Earth’s oceans, but also its frozen regions, or cryosphere. Just how severe things get will depend on whether most countries lower their releases of climate-warming greenhouse gases — or just continue pumping large quantities of them into the air. The report focuses on two potential scenarios. One involves cutting greenhouse gases enough to limit global warming to around 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) above preindustrial levels. By the way, the world is already more than halfway there; global temps have warmed by 1.1 degrees C (2 degrees F) since 1900, according to a second new report. Prepared by the World Meteorological Organization, it was released September 22. In a second scenario, pollution continues at its current pace to where Earth eventually warms some 4 degrees C (7.2 degrees F). Science News for Students took a look at the report’s predictions. They offer a scary view of potential changes that would impact societies and our natural world. They’re based on the latest available science.
