Answer:

Option (3) and (5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Moons are considered as the natural satellite and they move around the celestial bodies or planets. They do not have their own light. It gets its light from the sun. There are numerous moons in the space that orbits other planets.

These moons are generally found to be moving around the planets and dwarf planets. All the planets of our solar system have moon except Mercury and Venus. Earth has its own natural satellite. Jupiter has a maximum of 79 satellites at present. Dwarf planet named Eris has one moon.

According to the research, there are a total of about 185 moons that orbit around the planets of our system and a number of about 8 moons that orbits around the dwarf planets.

Hence, the correct answer is option (3) and (5).
