Explanation:

An orbit is defined as the path an object follows as it moves around another object. A solar system is a collection of celestial bodies (like planets, moons, asteroids) orbiting a star. A galaxy is a large system of stars, gas, dust, etc. A moon is a natural satellite orbiting a planet. So the term for the path is 'orbit'.

C. orbit.
