Hi player55,

The answer is C) Titan.

"Titan... it is distinguished by it's thick atmosphere, which can
easily be seen in the enlarged version of this image as a fuzzy haze
around the limb of Titan."
http://ucsu.colorado.edu/~sbrooks/main.html

"Titan, the only large satellite of Saturn, is about the same size and
composition as Ganymede. However, it has an atmosphere of nitrogen a
bit thicker than Earth's atmosphere, with a thick haze of
photo-chemical smog which prevents our view of the surface."

I hope this helps.

Thank you,
hummer
