Correct Answer: Option B
Detailed Explanation:
Comets have highly elongated elliptical orbits, originating from the Oort Cloud or Kuiper Belt, traveling close to the Sun at perihelion and far away at aphelion (e.g., Halley's Comet).
Asteroids have nearly circular orbits in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter; meteorites are fragments that land on Earth with no orbit; meteors are light streaks from burning meteoroids with no permanent orbit.
