An unlabeled hierarchical diagram of some astronomical bodies is shown. The labels A, B, C, and D can be used to represent galaxies, solar systems, clusters, the universe, and planets.
An image of four circles nestled one within the other is shown. The lower boundary of all four circles touches one another. The largest and the outermost circle is labeled A. The next circle in order is labeled B. The next circle is labeled C. The innermost circle is labeled D.
Part 1: Which four astronomical bodies would you choose to represent the four labels in the diagram?
Part 2: Justify your choice based on the hierarchical relationships in astronomical bodies. (10 points)
