The two Lagrange points in the Jupiter-Sun planetary system are
A)   positions in space at Jupiter's orbital distance from the Sun, where the combined gravitational forces from the Sun and Jupiter produce an equilibrium point at which asteroids can become trapped.
B)   points at high latitudes on Jupiter where auroras (called Lagrange auroras on Jupiter) occur most frequently.
C)   areas in the asteroid belt where gravitational interaction of Jupiter with asteroids disturbs their orbits and causes a Kirkwood gap.
D)   an area between the Sun and Jupiter where the gravitational forces on an object from these massive bodies are equal and opposite.
