B Correct answer
Explanation

Jupiter was historically called the 'Bright Wandering Star' because of its exceptional brightness and visible movement across the night sky compared to fixed stars. Ancient astronomers observed planets as 'wanderers' because they didn't follow the fixed patterns of background stars. Jupiter's large size and reflective atmosphere make it consistently bright.
