Answer
A
longer
B
shorter
C

Explanation

A planet farther from the Sun takes longer to complete one orbit. By Kepler’s third law, the farther a planet is from the Sun, the longer its orbital period; for example, Neptune takes much longer to orbit the Sun than Earth does. So the sentence should say “the longer its orbit is.”
