Question
**Why do we expect rings around all Jovian planets? Select the two best answers.**

- [ ] All Jovian planets are large mass, so will gravity is large
- [ ] All Jovian planets are red
- [ ] All Jovian planets will have had some small pseudo-moon close in
- [ ] All Jovian planets are solid
- [ ] All Jovian planets will have had some very large pseudo-moons at large distance

**Explanation:**  
The question aims to identify the reasons why rings are expected around Jovian planets. Jovian planets, also known as gas giants, typically have substantial mass and gravity, which can lead to the formation of rings from debris and small moons that may break apart under the planet's gravitational influence. This concept is crucial in understanding planetary ring systems and the dynamics of celestial bodies. The options involve considerations of mass, color, moon interactions, and composition.
