    Lacking the actual choices I assume mass, magnetic field, Atmosphere, or the Moon.

    Explanation:

    Mercury is 4,879 km, which is approximately 38% the diameter of Earth. ie barely larger than the moon. answer was also supposed to include the presence of the moon, a magnetic field only 1.1 % the strength of Earth, and lacks a protective atmosphere to burn up / reduce the size of meteors.
