Unlike the other major planets, Pluto has a highly eccentric orbit, which is thus closer to the Sun than Neptune is for 20 years out of every 230-year cycle, even though it is commonly described as the remotest planet in the solar system.

A) Pluto has a highly eccentric orbit, which is thus closer to the Sun than Neptune is -which is wrongly modifying orbit
B) Pluto has a highly eccentric orbit and is thus closer to the Sun than Neptune is -Correct
C) Pluto's orbit is highly eccentric and is thus closer to the Sun than Neptune -1. incorrect comparison between planets and orbit 2.meaning change
D) the orbit of Pluto is highly eccentric and thus closer to Sun than Neptune -1. incorrect comparison between planets and orbit 2.meaning change
E) the orbit of Pluto is highly eccentric, thus closer to the Sun than Neptune is -1. incorrect comparison between planets and orbit 2.meaning change 3.
incorrect comparison between orbit and neptune

Preparing for RC my way

My study resources:
1. Useful Formulae, Concepts and Tricks-Quant
2. e-GMAT's ALL SC Compilation
3. LSAT RC compilation
4. Actual LSAT CR collection by Broal
5. QOTD RC (Carcass)
6. Challange OG RC
7. GMAT Prep Challenge RC
