Explanation / Answer

1. (d) Extrasolar Planets.

Reason : Extrasolar planets are Jupiter like planets(in their composition and size) that are found outside our solar system and which are found to orbit close to their parent stars because the amount and frequency of the star's motion are both higher.

2. (h) Asteroids.

Reason : The Asteroid belt occupies the space between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter and asteroids are the small, irregular rocky bodies that orbit the Sun and are mostly found in this asteroid belt.
