Why is the material of the asteroid belt considered a leftover of planet formation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because rocky bodies there could not join into a complete planet

Direct answer: B, because rocky bodies there could not join into a complete planet. During planet formation, small solid bodies collided and combined through accretion. Between Mars and Jupiter, however, the strong gravitational influence of Jupiter disturbed the rocky material, so it did not easily gather into one large planet. The remaining objects form the asteroid belt and are viewed as leftover planet-building material. Option A is wrong because Earth’s rivers did not create the asteroid belt. Option B correctly explains why the material is called leftover. Option C is wrong because the belt is not the Sun’s core. Option D is wrong because it has no relation to the boundary of the Milky Way; the belt lies within our solar system. Memory cue: between Mars and Jupiter, unfinished rocky planet.
