To provide the correct answers for each drop-down menu, we need to analyze the details given in the table for Planet A and Planet B.

1. Planet A has a rocky mantle and an iron core, which are typical characteristics of a terrestrial planet. Therefore, Planet A is a terrestrial planet.

2. Planet B is primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, which are typical characteristics of a gas giant. Therefore, Planet B is a gas giant planet.

3. Planet A's distance from the Sun is 1.52 AU, which is considered closer to the Sun compared to Planet B's distance of 19.22 AU. Therefore, Planet A is closer to the Sun.

4. Planet B's distance from the Sun is 19.22 AU, which is farther from the Sun compared to Planet A's distance of 1.52 AU. Therefore, Planet B is farther from the Sun.

Summarizing the answers:

- Planet A is a terrestrial planet.
- Planet B is a gas giant planet.
- Planet A is closer to the Sun.
- Planet B is farther from the Sun.

These selections match the typical characteristics and distances described in the table.
