A future news release might report that a new planet has been found around a star very similar to our Sun. The system contains other planets as well like our solar system. This newly discovered planet is claimed to have a mass 40 times that of Earth and is located nearly 25 AU from the star it orbits. Which of the following would be a reasonable prediction about this planet, assuming it formed like our solar system? I. The planet will probably have a mean density of around 5 g/cm3. II. The planet will probably have a radius of around five to ten times greater than Earth's. III. The planet will probably have several satellites. IV. The planet will probably have a composition that is mostly hydrogen and helium.
a. I & IV
b. I, II, & III
c. II, III, & IV
d. I, II, & IV
e. I, II, III, & IV
