The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Mars is called the "Red Planet" due to the presence of iron oxide (rust) on its surface, which gives it a reddish appearance when observed from Earth. It is the fourth planet from the Sun and has been a prime focus for exploration because of its potential for past or present microbial life.
Options (A) Venus and (B) Mercury are terrestrial planets but lack the reddish surface. Option (D) Neptune is a gas giant with a blue hue.
