very rare in the universe
present around many stars
present around all stars or
present only around stars that rotate rapidly?

most stars will have planets.
we know this since when looking at forming stars with telescopes, you can perseive a ring or disk of dust. this ring of dust will eventually crash in on itself creating proto-planets.
rapidly rotating stars are less likely to form, or will take longer planets.

Let's give this one some thought.
All stars seems nonsensical, many if not most are binaries making
stable orbits of planets more difficult.
The amount of stars is infinite so many stars is always a correct answer but I guess you don't mean it that way.
So many stars is also out of the window.(meaning the majority)
I don't believe they are very rare since the process involved in
star creation (accumulation of dust + particles) would favor
pockets or rings in remoter area's from the center
Forming planets eventually.
Very rare is also not a likely possibility.
Only around stars that rotate rapidly makes sense to me
If the star's rotation would slow down to much the
planets would fall inwards and any really big gas Giant
would 'Hoover' the little ones away.
I must base this on the assumption that the earth is a rapidly
spinning planet compared to the others.
I am not an astronomer so I have no basis for comparison.
I'm worried about the ' rapid bit ' if it's really rapid I don't think
much would form away from the centre.
Forget this I'll go for many planets (say 25%)

Probably B.... We know of more than 100 stars around us that have planetary bodies orbiting them; based on the data available, it's accurate to say many stars have planets.

Do you always ask multiple choice questions when you talk to people ?? How odd. Good thing it's not homework. By the way, no one really knows the answer yet.

A. we are commencing as much as discover that lots, if no longer all stars have a planet or greater orbiting them, based on the flow led to via gravitational forces. while a planet strikes in orbit it motives their celebrity to "wobble" slightly in it`s direction.

Looks like you're getting us to do your homework for you.
A little reading would give you the answer.
