To solve the matching problem presented in the question, let's carefully analyze the descriptions and match each planet to its correct description based on the given true answer.
1. Mars:
- Description: "Iron oxide causes the red color of its soil"
- Match: This description indicates that the red color of Mars is due to iron oxide. Therefore, Mars matches with C.
2. Venus (which appears to be a typo in the question as 'Eenus', and should be "Venus"):
- Description: "Has the hottest recorded surface temperatures of the solar system"
- Match: Venus is known for having extremely high surface temperatures, making it the hottest planet in the solar system. Therefore, Venus matches with D.
3. Mercury:
- Description: "Is a rocky planet with extreme temperature changes"
- Match: Mercury is known for its rocky surface and large temperature fluctuations between day and night. Therefore, Mercury matches with A.
4. Earth (not mentioned in the table, but completing the given descriptions):
- Description: "Liquid water covers more than 70% of its surface"
- Match: Earth is the only planet in our solar system with abundant liquid water covering more than 70% of its surface. Therefore, Earth would match with B.
Based on the correct matches, the planet descriptions' alignment to their matches are:
- Mars -> C) Iron oxide causes the red color of its soil
- Venus -> D) Has the hottest recorded surface temperatures of the solar system
- Mercury -> A) Is a rocky planet with extreme temperature changes
- Earth -> B) Liquid water covers more than 70% of its surface
Therefore, the match results are:
