Answer 1

A. the four planets nearest to the sun

The four planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.

There are 8 planets so closest to the sun would be 4 which is half of 8.

Answer 2

The answer is A. because the solar system is built around the Sun and not the Earth, and since there are only 8 planets half of that would be four.
