The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding where asteroids mostly occur, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definition of Asteroids**: - Asteroids are small rocky bodies that orbit the Sun. They are significantly smaller than planets and are primarily found in specific regions of the solar system. 2. **Identify the Options Given**: - The options provided are: - (a) Earth and its moon - (b) Earth and Mars - (c) Mars and Jupiter - (d) Earth and Jupiter 3. **Recall the Location of the Asteroid Belt**: - The majority of asteroids in our solar system are located in the asteroid belt, which is situated between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. 4. **Evaluate Each Option**: - (a) Earth and its moon: This region does not contain asteroids. - (b) Earth and Mars: While some asteroids may be found here, it is not the primary location. - (c) Mars and Jupiter: This is where the asteroid belt is located, making it the correct answer. - (d) Earth and Jupiter: This region does not specifically contain the majority of asteroids. 5. **Select the Correct Answer**: - Based on the information, the correct answer is (c) Mars and Jupiter, as this is where most asteroids are found in the asteroid belt. ### Final Answer: (c) Mars and Jupiter ---
