HERE IS YOUR BEST ANSWER:

c.) mars

WHY:

It seems natural that the Greeks named the fourth planet after Ares, since the fourth planet shines with a red color, resembling blood, which is appropriate for the god of war.
The Romans identified their god of war, Mars, with the Greek Ares, so now we know the planet as Mars.
Mars was the Roman war god; his shield and spear form the planet’s symbol.
He was one of the most important of the Roman gods and an entire month of the year was dedicated to him.
We still call the third month of the year, March, in his honor.
He was also a god of agriculture before becoming associated with Ares.
The month was so named because Mars, the patron god of the Romans, was a war-god, and spring campaigns usually began about that time.
The Roman year once began with March before it became January.
He is characterized as the god who took a savage delight in slaughter, and the hordes of slain upon the battlefield filled him with a fierce joy.
In the poems of Homer, there are such epithets as these applied to him: scourge of mortals, piercer of shields, the bloodstained one.
The Romans were well-known as a warlike people; therefore, it is not strange that Mars became their patron god.
They built temples for him and honored him by many celebrations during the year.
One of the most famous parts of the city of Rome was called the Field of Mars (Campus Martius), and it was here that the army was reviewed and the spoils of war dedicated after the return of the armies from some successful campaign.
The word martial, pertaining to war, came from Mars, the god of war.

I agree. bodily we tick all the "mammal" packing bins. the only factor that separate us is our intelligence. Does this mean we are no longer animals? No. Does a snakes venom mean it quite is not an animal? Does a dolphin's echolocation? A spiders potential to create complicated webs? just about all animals have a organic protection mechanism they have progressed, ours is intelligence, this is all that's. every physique who thinks people are particular, have by no potential watch Animal Planet. we are particularly mundane while in comparison with some animals.
