Correct answer is option (1) The planet is gaseous and rotates quickly for its size.
More details:
Unlike Earth that is composed of solid materials like rock, gases and liquids, there are other planets like Jupiter, Saturn, which have major part of gases.
Since there is no solid surface, it is not possible for the alternating band of storms to spend their energy. So, bands are permanent in nature.
They possess strong alternating streams or bands in the atmosphere.
They have greater mass and speed of rotation is high when compared to earth.
