The correct response is:
**Its atmosphere is rich in carbon dioxide gas.**
Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system primarily due to its thick atmosphere, which is composed mainly of carbon dioxide. This greenhouse gas traps heat effectively, leading to extremely high surface temperatures, even though Venus is not the closest planet to the Sun.
