Understanding the Answer
Let's break down why this is correct
When large planets form, they pull nearby dust and gas with their gravity. Other options are incorrect because People often think planet growth is only about sticking together, but that describes accretion, the gathering of material; The nebular hypothesis is a broad story of how the Sun and planets formed, not the force that shapes their paths.

Definition
The process of the Solar System's creation, where planets, asteroids, and comets formed from a flat disk of material around the Sun. Inner planets were warmer, smaller, and rocky, while outer planets were colder and larger, with ice mixed in. Gravity from outer planets influenced the movement of ice chunks, leading to the formation and distribution of comets.
