The correct response is:

The planet is extremely hot.

A runaway greenhouse effect occurs when a planet's atmosphere traps heat excessively, leading to extremely high temperatures. On Venus, this has resulted in surface temperatures that are hotter than those on Mercury, despite being further from the Sun.
