Detailed Solution

Concept- A planet's satellites are objects that travel in a certain orbit around it, such as the moon, which orbits the earth. We may deduce from the names supplied that the given satellites are mars satellites.
Celestial entities that orbit considerably bigger things in space are known as natural satellites. All non-artificial satellites of planets or dwarf planets are distinguished by their natural satellites, which are also known as moons. There are 205 confirmed natural satellites in six recognized planetary satellite systems in our solar system. Mercury and Venus are the only planets without any moons
Similar to Jupiter, the other major gas giants contain several moons, some of which are almost the same size as the Moon.
The Moon is the only significant natural satellite of Earth. However, Mars has two tiny satellites in orbit around it.
Phoebus and Deimos are the names of these two satellites.
Therefore, since Mars is the planet whose natural satellites Phoebus and Deimos are, the answer to the question we were given is that planet.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
