Explanation:

Gas planets (like Jupiter, Saturn) are in the outer solar system where temperatures are cold. Cold temperatures allow gases to condense and be retained more easily, leading to accumulation of more gaseous material, making them large. The other options are incorrect: hot temperatures would make gases less likely to be retained, "small and absorb more gas" is contradictory, and planets are not all the same size.

Answer:

A. They are cold and absorb more gases
