The Answer is: b) 2

Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos. These moons are much smaller than Earth's moon and they were discovered in 1877 by Asaph Hall. Phobos is the larger of the two moons and orbits Mars in about 7 hours and 39 minutes, making it the fastest moon in the solar system. Deimos is the smaller moon and takes about 30 hours to complete an orbit around Mars.
