The inner planets.
Sequence (simplified): a molecular cloud collapsed to form the solar nebula (a disk) and the protosun; dust in the nebula stuck together to make planetesimals; those planetesimals accreted to form the planets. So planetesimals formed before the planets, and the inner (terrestrial) planets formed last.
