D Correct answer
Explanation

Neptune is called the Windy Planet because it has the fastest winds in the solar system, reaching speeds of up to 1,500 mph (2,400 km/h). Despite being farthest from the Sun and receiving less heat, these winds are powered by internal heat and the planet's rapid rotation. Neptune's wind speeds are nearly supersonic.
