Brief Explanations
Meteoroids are small chunks of rocks and debris in space. When a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere and burns up, it is called a meteor. If a meteoroid survives the atmospheric entry and hits the Earth's surface, it is called a meteorite. Meteorides is not a standard term in this context. So the correct answer is meteoroids.
