Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks about Pluto's composition and compares it to a celestial object. 
First, note that the provided data lists the intended answer as 'comet.' but does not supply any multiple-choice options to evaluate. This means we cannot walk through a set of alternatives and explain why each is correct or incorrect in a traditional option-by-option way. 
Nevertheless, we can reason about the stated correct association. Pluto is categorized as a dwarf planet with a composition that is predominantly ices (such as water ice, methane, and ammonia ices) mixed with rock, and it resides in the outer Solar System. This icy, volatile-rich makeup is characteristic of comets as well, which are composed largely of ice and dust and originate from the outer regions of the Solar System. The similarity arises because both Pluto and comets contain significant amounts of volatile ices and have surfaces and interiors shaped by sublimation and retention of these ices under very cold conditions. 
If one were evaluating options in a typical multiple-choice format, options that propose Pluto is most similar to objects with rocky, terrestrial compositions lacking substantial ices would be less accurate. Conversely, choices describing icy, comet-like constituents would be more aligned with Pluto’s known make-up. However, without the actual list of alternatives present, we cannot assess each specific choice or explain why others would be incorrect in this item.
In summary, given Pluto’s icy, mixed rock-ice composition and its outer-Solar-System origin, it shares more resemblance with comets than with strictly rocky, inner-Solar-System bodies. The absence of explicit options prevents a full option-by-option critique, but the core reasoning centers on the presence of substantial ices and volatile materials characteristic of comets.
