The planets all lie in nearly the same plane resulting in a disk-like structure for the solar system. This disk-like structure is believed to exist because

	a.	the Milky Way Galaxy has a disk-like structure.
	b.	the bipolar flow from the young sun cleared all material out of the nebula except that in the disk.
	c.	Jupiter’s gravity was great enough to pull all of the other planets to the plane of its orbit.
	d.	planetesimals settled into the plane of rotation of the solar nebula.
	e.	the sun’s magnetic field slowed down the rotation of the solar nebula.
