B Correct answer
Explanation

The Cassini Division is a prominent 4,800 km gap between Saturn's A Ring and B Ring, discovered by Giovanni Cassini in 1675. It's not actually empty but contains less material due to orbital resonances with Saturn's moon Mimas. Galileo's Gap, Pandora's gap (Encke Gap), and Roche Division are other ring features but not the main gap between the two brightest rings.
