D
all over the solar system and between the orbits of the planets

Explanation

The Oort cloud is a distant, roughly spherical region of icy objects surrounding the solar system. It lies far beyond Neptune and the Kuiper belt, near the outermost extent of the Sun’s gravitational influence. Therefore, the correct choice is “beyond the Kuiper belt, at the farthest end of the solar system.”
