Why did the solar nebula flatten into a disk?

A) The interstellar cloud from which the solar nebula formed was originally somewhat flat. B) The force of gravity from the Sun pulled the material downward into a flat disk. C) As the nebula cooled, the gas and dust settled onto a disk. D) It flattened as a consequence of collisions between particles in the spinning nebula, changing random motions into more orderly ones. E) The force of gravity from the planets pulled the material downward into a flat disk.
