D. Neptune | 4. God of War

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 (A-2, B-1, C-4, D-3). This matching is based on classical Roman mythology, which provided the nomenclature for celestial bodies in our solar system.

  • Mercury (A-2): Named after the messenger of the gods, Mercury represents the God of Commerce, Eloquence, and Skill. Its rapid orbit around the Sun reflects the swiftness associated with this deity.
  • Pluto (B-1): Named after the God of the Underworld and Death, fitting for a body residing in the dark, distant reaches of the solar system.
  • Mars (C-4): Known as the Red Planet, its blood-like hue led to its association with the God of War.
  • Neptune (D-3): Due to its deep blue appearance, it was named after the God of the Sea.

Options 1, 2, and 3 are incorrect as they misattribute these specific mythological roles to the respective planets.
