Answer: B. Mercury has a thin atmosphere

Step-by-step explanation:

Mars, Venus, and Earth are similar. However, the most accurate statement is that Mercury has a thin atmosphere.

Mars has an atmosphere made up of gases - mostly carbon dioxide (and nitrogen and argon).

Mercury has a very thin atmosphere made up of atoms from solar wind - it has almost no surface pressure.

Venus has a gas atmosphere of carbon dioxide, but is hotter and more dense than earth.

Earth also has an atmosphere made from layers of gases - air.
