Answer:

C It moves in an orbit around Jupiter.

Explanation:

A moon is a natural satellite of some planet and is recognized as the star that circulates around a main planet, that is, does not orbit around a star, that is, to be considered moon, the star must move in a orbit around a planet. Some moons are larger than some major planets, such as Ganymede and Titan, natural satellites of Jupiter and Saturn, respectively, which are larger than Mercury. Thus, if the orbit of these moons were around the Sun, they could be considered as planets, but their orbits are around the planet Jupiter or Saturn, so they are considered moons.
