The characteristic that does not apply to inner planets is C. they spin faster.
Inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are rocky, generally do not have rings, and are smaller and denser than the outer planets. However, their rotation speeds vary, and generally, they do not all spin faster than outer planets. In fact, Mercury has a very slow rotation period relative to its orbital period.
