Understanding the Answer
Let's break down why this is correct
Kuiper Belt is beyond Neptune, where temperatures are so low that water, methane, and ammonia are frozen. Other options are incorrect because Many students think the asteroid belt is icy because it is a belt, but it sits between Mars and Jupiter, where rocks dominate, not ice; Some may believe the Oort Cloud is the primary icy region, but it lies far beyond the Kuiper Belt and is not highlighted in this question.
