The correct answer is B: a meteor.
A meteor is what we see when a meteoroid enters the Earth’s atmosphere and burns up, creating a bright streak of light across the sky often referred to as a “shooting star.” In contrast, an asteroid is larger and orbits the sun, while a comet has icy components that produce a tail when it approaches the sun.
