Detailed Solution

Concept: Let us first understand what a comet is. A comet is made up of ice, feasts, dust and gobbets of gemstone mixed together. A comet looks like a dirty snowball.
A comet is originally located at a place far down from the sun or any other star similar to the heat that doesn't reach it. That's why it's an icy gemstone.
A ball thrown overhead from the face of the earth, is attracted back towards the earth, any body in space revolves around a larger body under the influence of the gravitational force. These bodies revolve in an elliptical path called the route of the body.
In our solar system, the sun is the largest body and all other Elysian bodies revolve around it in an elliptical route. The sun is positioned at one of the focuses of the cirque.
When the ratio of the major axis to the minor axis of the cirque is veritably large, we say that the path of the revolving body is largely elliptical. When this rate is equal to one, the path of the body will be a circle. This rate depends on where the body was initially.However, the rate is veritably large, If the body was too far.
Also, a comet is also attracted by the force of gravity wielded by the sun. Still, the comet is positioned at a veritably far distance from the sun that it takes an elliptical path similar that the rate of the major axis to the minor axis is veritably large. Thus, the path of the comet is largely elliptical.
Hence, the correct option is 3.
