Solution
The answer is (Choice A) Asteroids. Asteroids have a rocky composition and generally orbit the sun between Mars and Jupiter. Comets, on the other hand, are composed of ice, dust, and rocky material and usually have highly elliptical orbits that bring them very close to the Sun and swing them back out into space.
