During the formation of the Solar System, smaller particles in the solar nebula 
combined to form planetesimals, some of which provided the building blocks for 
planets. The majority of planetesimals did not become planets, however, and some 
of them remain in the Solar System today as debris left over from the time of 
planet formation. Asteroids are a special class of planetesimals that orbit around 
the Sun. 
Study the distribution of known asteroids shown in this figure, and choose all of
