Some objects from the Kuiper belt are classified as "plutoids" and include?

  • A. Pluto, Cris, and Yeres
  • B. Pluto, Bris, and Teres
  • C. Pluto, Eris, and Ceres
  • D. Yeres, Teres, Ceres

Explanation

Pluto, Eris and Ceres are named dwarf planets, but only Pluto and Eris are officially classified as plutoids because they orbit beyond Neptune; Ceres is included in this commonly used but technically loose grouping. The misspelled names in the other options are distractors.
