The student is comparing "Earth and Venus."
Both Earth and Venus have surface features such as mountains, valleys, and volcanoes. On the other hand, the phrase “unable to land on because there is no solid surface” would apply to objects like gas giants (which could be seen as the outer planets) but not to Earth or Venus, which have solid surfaces.
Therefore, the best answer among the provided options is:
Earth and Venus.
