The Sun's gravitational pull keeps our planet orbiting the Sun <span>in a nice nearly-circular orbit.</span>

The kinetic energy is given by:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

We know the mass and the maximum speed, plugging their values in the expression above we have:

$\begin{gathered} K=\frac{1}{2}(9.1\times10^{-31})(8\times10^6)^2 \\ K=2.91\times10^{-17}\text{ J} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the answer is d.
