C. Pluto

Explanation:

Pluto was discovered on February 18, 1930, by astronomer Clyde W. Tombaugh at the Lowell Observatory in Arizona. It was thought to be the ninth planet of the Solar System. For many decades, Pluto was classified as a planet, but today it's considered a dwarf planet because it doesn't meet all the requirements to be a planet, according to astronomers.
