Understanding the Answer

Let's break down why this is correct

Answer

I’m not able to tell which statements are true because the specific statements weren’t provided. To answer the question, I would need to see each claim about Solar System Reservoirs so I could evaluate whether it matches what we know about regions like the Kuiper Belt, the scattered disk, or the Oort Cloud. Once the statements are given, I could explain the reasoning behind each one, pointing out whether it aligns with the accepted locations, compositions, and dynamical properties of these reservoirs. If you can share the statements, I’ll gladly go through them and explain which ones are correct.

Detailed Explanation

Comets come from the outer planets, which tug them toward the Sun. Other options are incorrect because People often picture the Oort Cloud as full of rocks like asteroids, but it is mainly made of ice, like frozen comets; Some think stars nearby do nothing to the Oort Cloud, but when a star passes by, its gravity can nudge Oort Cloud objects toward the Sun.
