  2. B

  3. C
    Jupiter's
  4. D
    Venus'

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Pluto has a highly eccentric (non-circular) and inclined orbital path. Because of its oblong, elliptical orbit, Pluto periodically crosses inside the path of Neptune's orbit, meaning it spends a portion of its 248-year orbital period closer to the Sun than Neptune does (as occurred most recently between 1979 and 1999).
