B Correct answer
Explanation

The nebular theory (also called nebular hypothesis) explains that the solar system formed from a rotating cloud of gas and dust (nebula) that condensed under gravity. While 'gravitational condensation theory' isn't the standard scientific name (the correct term is nebular theory), the answer key intends this option as it's the only one describing condensation from gases and dust particles over time. The other options are not real scientific theories.
