Answer 2

Correct answer is option (D) prevents planets from pulling into one another.

Explanation:

Inertia is the tendency of an object to stay in rest (if it already in rest position) or keep moving in a stable direction and speed if it is moving, unless an external force acts on it. It is the tendency to resist a change in position.

Gravitational force and inertia of the planets and the sun is what keeping the planets to move in its elliptical orbit around the sun.

Each planet and also the sun exerts a gravitational force on each other, trying to pull other planet towards it. So, finally a push-pull force keeps the planets continue their path in their orbits and prevented from being fall to the other planet or sun.
