Venus
C
Jupiter
D
Saturn
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Venus. Venus is the brightest navigational planet in the night sky. This is because Venus is the closest planet to Earth and reflects a significant amount of sunlight, making it appear very bright and prominent in the sky. The other planet options (Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn) are either too distant from Earth or do not reflect as much sunlight, making them appear less bright in comparison to Venus.
