Venus’s surface must be relatively young because of all the impact craters there. This is best represented by option B.

We can conclude Venus likely underwent lots of volcanic activity in the past due to the impact craters on it and on Mercury. With a thick atmosphere and fluctuating temperatures, water (at least as a liquid) would be very unlikely to be prevalent on Venus’s surface. Although Venus has lots of volcanoes, that only suggests the surface rapidly shifted in the past.. With the resurfacing of large portions of the planet, impact craters likely were erased.
