This photo shows a slice of a meteorite. What is its significance?
A) The shiny metal flakes embedded in rock are just what we expect if condensation really occurred as the nebular theory predicts.
B) It shows that accretion really did make objects many kilometers in size during the early stages of the formation of our solar system.
C) The surprisingly flat face of the meteorite indicates that the solar nebula must have been hot in the region in which this meteorite formed.
D) The structure and composition of the meteorite show that material that condensed beyond the frost line really did differ from material that condensed within the frost line.
