The correct response is: The outer planets are larger than the inner planets.

The outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) are generally much larger and are classified as gas giants (and ice giants in the case of Uranus and Neptune), while the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are smaller, rocky, and terrestrial in nature.
