Kepler's third law of motion primarily involves the **period of revolution** and the **distance to the sun**. It states that the square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.
None of the options provided perfectly match this, but the closest relevant pair would relate to the period of revolution and the distance from the sun.
The best response here would be:
**period of revolution, distance to sun** (this option is not explicitly listed, but it's the correct combination).
If you need to choose from the given responses, none directly reflect Kepler's third law accurately. However, if you also accept that the "orbital velocity" can be derived from these concepts, then "orbital velocity, distance to sun" might be the most relevant although it's not a direct interpretation of the law.
