D
all over the solar system and between the orbits of the planets

Explanation

The Oort cloud is a vast, distant region surrounding the solar system, well beyond the Kuiper belt. It is thought to be at the farthest reaches of the Sun’s gravitational influence, so “beyond the Kuiper belt, at the farthest end of the solar system” is correct.
