The question is poor.

It expects you to choose 'B', but things aren't nearly that simple.

We picture all of the asteroids bunched up in a neat bunch between
the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, with each asteroid following its own
nearly circular orbit. But many asteroids have wildly non-circular
'eccentric' orbits, sometimes being closer to the sun than the Earth is.
You know how you hear so much discussion about when did the Earth
get hit by an asteroid ? and when will the Earth be hit by another asteroid ?
and what will happen when the Earth is hit by an asteroid again ? None
of that would be possible if asteroids all had nearly circular orbits.

We picture comets as having these lng skinny orbits, spending
most of every orbit waaay out in the solar system, and then dipping
close to the sun for a few days, and then going back wy out again.
But there are also many comets in nearly circular orbits around the sun.
You never hear anything about them, because you can never see them
without a powerful telescope, and they never do anything exciting.
So some comets could be a correct answer to this question too.

And since meteoroids are the remains of old comets, and follow the
orbit of the comet that they chipped off from, there are a lot of meteoroids
in circular orbits too, and they could also be a correct answer to this question.

Answer from: Quest

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
