Answer 2

An amateur astronomer is looking through a telescope and observes a planet with few moons, no rings, and a cratered surface;

So most probably he is observing a solid outer planet;

Because,

A) we cannot determine any planet's core by just seeing it through the telescope

B) it is mention that the outer surface of the planet is full of holes so the outer surface of the planet has to be a solid surface

D) the planet has several moons so if the core part of the planet is gaseous then the gravitational force of the planet will be weaker

so this point is also not appropriate according to the given condition.
