B Correct answer
Explanation

The asteroid belt (also known as the main asteroid belt) is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. It contains millions of irregularly shaped bodies ranging from Ceres (the largest at about 590 miles in diameter) down to tiny dust particles. These are remnants from the early solar system that never coalesced into a planet, likely due to Jupiter's strong gravitational influence.
