Answer

Answer:

A. a new dwarf planet

Brief Explanation:

Dwarf planets are round - shaped. Asteroids are usually irregularly shaped. Moons orbit planets, not the Sun directly in the asteroid belt. Comets have a distinct coma and tail when near the Sun and are not typically round and rocky like the described object. So the most likely discovery is a new dwarf planet.
