Question 12

Haumea is a dwarf planet with an egg - shaped appearance due to its rapid rotation and has two moons. Eris has one moon, Makemake has no moons, and Varda is not a dwarf planet with such characteristics.

The discovery of Eris, which is similar in size to Pluto, led to the re - evaluation of Pluto's status and the creation of the term "dwarf planet" to classify such celestial bodies. Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet after the discovery of Eris. Haumea and Makemake were also classified as dwarf planets later, but the discovery of Eris was the key trigger for defining the term.

Answer:

D. Haumea
