Which of the following figures correctly represents the relations between Jupiter, Mars and Planets?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The relationship between Jupiter, Mars, and Planets is best represented by a Venn diagram where two separate circles (Jupiter and Mars) are entirely contained within a larger circle (Planets). Jupiter and Mars are both distinct celestial bodies classified as planets within our solar system [4]. Specifically, Mars is categorized as a terrestrial or inner planet, while Jupiter is classified as a gas giant or outer planet [3]. Because they belong to different categories (inner vs. outer) and are separate physical entities, there is no overlap between the sets representing Jupiter and Mars [3]. However, since both are members of the set of eight planets in the solar system, they must both be depicted as subsets within the universal set of 'Planets' [4]. This hierarchical relationship—where two disjoint sets are contained within a single superordinate set—is correctly illustrated in Option 1.
