Suppose an asteroid is discovered with an elliptical orbit, a period of exactly one year, and perihelion 0.5 AU from the Sun.  Using Kepler's third law, how far from the Sun is this asteroid when at aphelion?  (Drawing a diagram of the orbit, including the Sun, will help.)
   A)  2.5 AU    B)  2.0 AU    C)  1.0 AU    D)  1.5 AU
