Which of the following statements best explains why all the planets orbit the Sun in the same direction and in nearly the same plane?

A) The planets formed from a disk of rotating gas, and their orbits therefore orbit as this gas did. B) The Sun's rotation spun out the planets as it formed. C) No one knows: planets form randomly, so it's a puzzle why they orbit with such a pattern. D) The Sun's gravity is strongest as its equator, so it pulled all the planets into this orbital alignment.
