Explanation:

Pluto is classified as a dwarf - planet because it has an eccentric orbit, has not cleared its orbit path, and is not fully rounded. All planets (including dwarf - planets) orbit the Sun, so orbiting the Sun is not a unique reason for its dwarf - planet classification.

Answer:

C. It orbits the Sun.
