Answer:

D.

Explanation:

The Nebula Hypothesis is the most widely accepted to explain our solar system formation. According to the theory, the Sun and planets were formed from a giant cloud (nebula means cloud in latin) which contained gas and dust.

Then, some gravitational event help to collapse the center. With this event, began to form denser regions, which, as result, attracted more and more matter, the region with more concentration create the Sun and surroundings of matter create planets and other components of the Solar System.
