C. is not true. Triton consists of roughly 75% rocky material, without evidence of a core, while Mars' interior is more similar to the earth's, with a dense core and molten rocky mantle, along with a thin crust.

C. Its composition more closely resembles that of Pluto, leading to speculation that it is a captured Kuiper Belt object.
